Manchester United are interested in signing the Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, and manager Ruben Amorim has requested that the club get the deal done.
According to a report from CaughtOffside, the player is a “priority target” for Manchester United.
The 21-year-old Cameroon midfielder is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he has been exceptional in the Premier League since joining Brighton. The Seagulls are open to selling the midfielder for a fee of around €60-70 million.
Man United could use Carlos Baleba
It will be interesting to see if Manchester United are willing to pay for him. Several other clubs are securing his signature, and they need to move quickly if they want to get the deal done. They need more control in the middle of the park, and the 21-year-old would be an exceptional acquisition. He will help out defensively and add drive to the side as well.
The technically gifted midfielder is excellent when it comes to taking on players in the middle of the park as well. His ability to beat players will add a new dimension to the Manchester United midfield.
The reported asking price might seem expensive, but the player has the potential to justify the outlay. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United are prepared to break the Bank for him.
Man United move could tempt Baleba
The opportunity to play for Manchester United will be exciting for the young midfielder as well. He would get to compete alongside quality players at Old Trafford. Manchester United could nurture him into a top-class Premier League performer.
The African is already operating at a high level at this stage of his career, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He is still only 21, and Amorim could do wonders with the player.
