Brighton star Carlos Baleba has finally broken his silence on interest from Manchester United.
The Red Devils approached Brighton in August to discuss the £100million-rated midfielder, who admits that he's felt the pressure of being linked with United and being valued at such a price.
"I don't think it affected me negatively, but I had a lot of pressure on me," Baleba told [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/). "When I started this season, I wanted to show the same performances as last season.
"Every day I try to work hard and get back to my level. Did I put too much pressure on myself? Yes, I think so, but I think it's good.
"It's good for me, because now I have to get through this slightly stressful period, get back on the horse and continue working hard."
