Brighton have set a £100million price tag on 22-year-old Carlos Baleba, cooling Manchester United's interest despite the player's desire to join Old Trafford. The Seagulls see him as their next big sale like Moises Caicedo, who fetched over £100m in 2023, and aren't rushing to sell. Baleba impressed after joining from Lille in 2023 but has struggled this season with no goals or assists in 19 appearances, capped by an early booking and substitution in the recent Villa defeat. United are scouting alternatives like Sandro Tonali or Adam Wharton while planning exits for Casemiro and possibly Manuel Ugarte.

Key Takeaway

Carlos Baleba buried his head in his shirt on the bench, inconsolable after just 22 minutes against Aston Villa. The young midfielder's tough night came as Manchester United eye him for their midfield rebuild.
