Michael Carrick handed major transfer boost as £100m Brighton star 'only wants' Manchester United move
Manchester United is reportedly targeting Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba as a final addition to their squad this summer. The player is said to be keen on the move, though the club is currently pausing recruitment to evaluate their options.
Why it matters
This reflects the high-stakes nature of Premier League transfer windows and the financial impact of player recruitment.
The ongoing recruitment drive at Old Trafford could soon yield a spectacular third midfield addition ahead of the demanding new campaign.

The Red Devils have reportedly put the brakes on their recruitment drive following the arrivals of Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans to replace the departed Casemiro.

Brighton star Carlos Baleba has now emerged as their primary target, with the player reportedly setting his heart solely on a move to Old Trafford.
