David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano were among those to confirm Man Utd are sizing up Brighton midfielder, Carlos Baleba. After overhauling his attack, Ruben Amorim now wants more intensity in central areas and Baleba, 21, has been identified as the perfect target.

However, it has been widely reported that Brighton value the midfielder at £100million, a figure close to the one they received for Moises Caicedo in 2023 - from Chelsea. It's clear United would have to construct a near-perfect financial package to reach an agreement.
