Manchester United have reportedly intensified their pursuit of Brighton’s Carlos Baleba as Ruben Amorim looks to bolster his midfield options during the upcoming January window.
Reports surfacing today indicate that United have made significant progress in talks for the 21-year-old midfielder.
After cooling their interest in the summer due to Brighton’s £100 million-plus valuation, the Red Devils are back at the table following a shift in the Seagulls’ stance.
United have already spent heavily this season on players like Benjamin Sesko and Matheus Cunha, but the need for a physical, ball-winning presence in the mold of Moises Caicedo remains a priority for Amorim’s tactical setup.
