Overview
- The former Premier League striker says Carlos Baleba should regain last season’s level before considering a move and doubts the £110m figure.
- Manchester United explored a transfer in the summer but, according to reports, made no formal bid due to Brighton’s asking price.
- Brighton signed Baleba for about £23m in 2023 and have him contracted until 2028 with an option for an extra year, giving the club leverage.
- The 21-year-old has made his international debut and became a key player last season, though his start to this campaign has been slower.
- United are also monitoring Nottingham Forest’s Elliot Anderson as an alternative, with reports suggesting a fee in the region of £100m.
