Manchester United is leading the charge in the transfer market for a new midfielder, aiming to sign a promising talent to replace Manuel Ugarte, who has not performed well.
The team has made substantial improvements elsewhere, having revamped their attack effectively over the summer. The defense has maintained a decent level, with Senne Lammens proving to be a better option than Andre Onana in goal, and Bruno Fernandes continuing to excel as a playmaker.
If United can address their midfield and wing-back issues, they could be primed to compete for a top-four spot in the Premier League.
One ideal candidate is Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, who, according to rumors, may be underperforming to encourage a lower transfer price to move to Old Trafford.
Fabrizio Romano shared on his YouTube channel that Baleba “would love to join United.” However, he also noted that Brighton is not looking to sell him in the current January transfer window.
Manchester United is actively engaging with Baleba and his representatives, but Brighton remains firm on retaining the player, despite his lackluster performances this season. United will have to bide their time.
They are prepared for this wait. Other midfield targets like Adam Wharton and Elliot Anderson are also unlikely to transfer until summer, meaning it could be a slow process before Manchester United secures their desired signings.
