Manchester United are continuing to monitor Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba closely as preparations begin for the summer transfer window. The talented young midfielder has emerged as one of the club’s most admired prospects, with United’s recruitment team reportedly convinced that he possesses the qualities needed to thrive at Old Trafford in the coming years.
Despite his relatively young age, Baleba has already built a reputation for his composure, athleticism, and ability to control the tempo of matches in midfield. His performances for Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. have attracted attention from several top clubs across Europe, but Manchester United remain among the sides showing the strongest interest. The Premier League giants are believed to view him as a player capable of adding energy, defensive stability, and technical quality to their midfield department.
United’s interest in Baleba reflects the club’s wider plan to invest in younger talents who can develop into long-term stars rather than relying solely on experienced signings. The midfielder’s versatility is also seen as a major advantage, as he is capable of operating both as a defensive midfielder and in a more advanced box-to-box role. His physical presence and confidence on the ball have impressed scouts throughout the season.
With Manchester United expected to reshape several areas of the squad this summer, midfield reinforcement is likely to remain one of the club’s priorities. Baleba’s profile fits the type of player United are currently searching for — young, dynamic, technically gifted, and already experienced in English football.
Although no formal agreement has been reached at this stage, the club’s admiration for the Brighton star remains strong, and his situation is expected to be monitored closely as the transfer window approaches.
