Manchester United are reportedly set to make a bold move for Brighton’s 22-year-old defensive maestro Carlos Baleba, seeing him as the perfect midfield anchor to fortify their defense.

United value him at £50 million, but Brighton’s stance may complicate matters, given his long-term contract until 2028. With manager Michael Carrick reportedly pushing for his capture, Baleba could be the unsung gem poised to slot into a starting role — and maybe even become a world-class player.
