Carlos Baleba Forced Off for Cameroon at AFCON as Manchester United Interest Faces Uncertainty

Any January approach from Manchester United hinges on the severity of the midfielder’s suspected hamstring issue.

Overview

  • Baleba left Cameroon's AFCON opener against Gabon at half-time after receiving treatment shortly before the interval.
  • He was replaced by Jean Onana, with Cameroon going on to win 1-0 thanks to an assist from Bryan Mbeumo for Karl Etta Eyong.
  • The 21-year-old Brighton midfielder has struggled to complete matches this season after a summer knee problem and ongoing fitness setbacks.
  • Manchester United pursued Baleba in the summer but did not meet Brighton’s high valuation, with future interest expected.
  • The report notes a January transfer could depend on medical assessments, while Baleba hopes to continue his AFCON campaign.
