The Manchester Evening News recently reported that United are preparing 100 million sterling pound (€115m) bid for the 21 year old. If accepted Baleba would become the most expensive signing in United’s history surpassing Paul Pogba’s 105m euro move from Juventus in 2016 and one of the biggest transfers in football history.

Manchester United are set to make a second bid for Carlos Baleba this week after making the Brighton midfielder their next key transfer target. United have already spent more than £200million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko to transform their forward line, and now Ruben Amorim wants to bolster his midfield.
