United Focus Shifts to Baleba as Sesko Arrival Seals Hojlund’s Exit

United’s sporting directors are weighing up a move for Brighton’s Carlos Baleba after Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez ruled himself out

Overview

  • The United front line is complete with the arrivals of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko, prompting talks over Rasmus Hojlund’s sale to AC Milan.
  • Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba has formally requested a transfer to Old Trafford and his agent has accepted United’s personal terms proposal.
  • Barcelona’s Fermin Lopez has publicly ruled out any move to Manchester, ending United’s interest in the Spanish playmaker.
  • Links to PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma remain speculative and depend on a potential but unlikely Andre Onana departure and financial fair play constraints.
  • United’s co-sporting directors Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox are managing FFP limits by structuring installment deals and moving high-wage players to fund late-window midfield and goalkeeping signings.
