Manchester United could pursue a new midfielder during the ongoing transfer window.
The Red Devils have had a productive summer with a couple of high-profile acquisitions.
Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo should be quality upgrades in the final third for United.
The club are also in advanced negotiations with RB Leipzig regarding striker Benjamin Sesko.
Amidst this, David Ornstein reports that the Red Devils have made contact with Brighton through intermediaries over a potential deal for midfielder Carlos Baleba.
The Cameroon international has established himself as one of the best holding midfielders in the Premier League, and United are exploring a possible move for his services.
As things stand, a deal appears unlikely on the cards. With the huge outlay expected to be made on Sesko, the club will need a raft of lucrative sales to afford Baleba.
Brighton also don’t plan to part ways with the 21-year-old Cameroon international, and United will get to know the Seagulls’ stance on the midfielder in the next few days.
