Manchester United have been linked with Carlos Baleba from Brighton, and they are expected to make a move for him in January.

They wanted to sign the midfielder during the summer transfer window, but a move did not work out. According to TeamTalk, United manager Ruben Amorim is facing an uncertain future at the club. However, Manchester United are prepared to make a move for the 21-year-old midfielder, regardless of whether the Portuguese manager is at the club in January.

Baleba is a tremendous talent with a bright future, and he could develop into a future star for Manchester United. They are in desperate need of a complete central midfielder like him.

Man United move could be tempting

The African will be tempted to join Manchester United as well. It would be a huge opportunity for him, and he will look to improve himself at one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Even though Manchester United are struggling right now, they could be challenging for trophies soon, and Baleba will be attracted to the idea of joining them.

He is young enough to improve further, and he could improve with coaching and guidance. Manchester United have done well to groom young players in recent years, and they could play a key role in the development of the Brighton star as well.

However, he is likely to cost a lot of money, and it remains to be seen whether Manchester United can get the deal done. Baleba is a priority target for them in January, and they will have to pay a club-record fee in order to get the deal done. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United follow up on their interest with an official proposal in the coming weeks.

They have started the season poorly, and they need to bring quality players in order to bounce back strongly. The 21-year-old midfielder will certainly help them improve during the second half of the season. Convincing the player to join the club will not be difficult, but Manchester United need to submit an acceptable offer to Brighton.
