Manchester United are weighing up a move for Carlos Baleba as the club continues its search for midfield reinforcements ahead of the new season.
The 22-year-old Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder has emerged as a potential target, with United’s recruitment team closely monitoring his development following an impressive rise in the Premier League. Baleba, a Cameroon international, is regarded as one of the most promising young midfielders in England, combining physical presence with technical ability and tactical intelligence.
United are exploring several options to strengthen the core of their midfield, and Baleba’s profile fits the club’s long-term vision of building a dynamic and youthful squad. His ability to break up play while contributing progressively in possession has reportedly caught the attention of decision-makers at Old Trafford.
However, no formal approach has been made at this stage, and Brighton are understood to be in no rush to part ways with one of their key assets. The south coast club has built a reputation for developing and retaining top talent, and any potential deal would likely require a significant financial commitment.
As discussions remain internal, United are expected to continue assessing the market before making a decisive move, with Baleba firmly on their radar as they reshape their midfield options.
