Manchester United is becoming more certain that they will be able to sign Carlos Baleba, a midfielder for Brighton, during the summer transfer window. At the conclusion of the current campaign, the Red Devils intend to reorganise their midfield and appoint a permanent head coach.
Under interim manager Michael Carrick, who will be in the dugout for the team’s last 17 games of the season, United are unlikely to bolster their roster during the January transfer window. However, reliable sources claim that United is growing increasingly confident about luring Baleba away from the Amex this summer.
The 22-year-old centre midfielder is committed to Brighton through 2028, but since United expressed interest in him last year, his value has decreased. Paul Barber, the deputy chairman of the Seagulls, has stated that there are no imminent intentions to transfer Baleba after the team rejected United’s inquiry last summer.

According to The Sun, United are “increasingly confident” that they will get their man this summer, and they are working on a midfield makeover. Baleba’s contract with Brighton expires in June 2028, but the team has often demonstrated that they are open to doing business since they support their hiring process to locate a replacement.
United want to recruit many centre midfielders in the summer, so Baleba could not be the only player to arrive at Old Trafford. Elliot Anderson of Nottingham Forest, Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace, and Alex Scott of Bournemouth are all under observation.
When Casemiro’s contract expires in June, it is anticipated that he will depart United, and since Ruben Amorim was fired, Bruno Fernandes’ future is becoming increasingly uncertain. Due to Napoli’s interest, Kobbie Mainoo has been uneasy all season.
Michael Carrick is now in charge of United, although Amorim’s long-term replacement will be named in the summer. The hierarchy have already begun working on targets for what will be a crucial summer, but their transfer plans will be shaped by the identity of their new manager and their tactical philosophy.
