Despite having a failed transfer window in terms of fixing all of their voids, they are having a good time in the Premier League right now. They did not have a very good start in the league as they were losing back to back games, and at one point, they were even fighting the relegation battle, much like last year.
They started the campaign with a defeat against Chelsea Football Club at Old Trafford. More defeats were in the follow up as the fans started to demand a sack for their manager, Ruben Amorim. But things started to improve recently as they managed three back to back victories, and it was the first time they won three back to back games under their new Portuguese boss.
Carlos Baleba is once again a target for Manchester United
They even managed a huge victory over their arch rivals Liverpool, and that is also at Anfield. A late goal from Harry McGuire sealed this big victory and also provided them with a big boost. The doubters were turning into believers, and the manager, Ruben Amorim, also started to receive a lot of praise from the fans.
Manchester United may move for Carlos Baleba in the transfer window
But their Summer transfer window remained somewhat of a failure as they invested £200 million on free forwards and completely overlooked their defence and midfield. They did not even buy a major goalkeeper. But they had their target set to strengthen their midfield by adding Carlos Baleba.
The Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba had been highly rated, and he was one of the major targets of the former Premier League Champions. But Brighton set a price tag of £100 million for Baleba, and Manchester United decided to come back for him next summer transfer window.
Brighton and Hove Albion wanted 100 million for the Cameroonian International in the Summer
However, recent reports suggest that Manchester United are desperate to strengthen their midfield after their latest impressive performance, and they are also determined to secure a UEFA Champions League spot for next season, as they are already in the top half of the Premier League right now.
Therefore, they are reconsidering signing Carlos Baleba in the winter transfer window, and their also ready to match the expected price set by Brighton. But will they actually splash a £100 million bid for the Cameroonian international in January? One thing that can definitely be said is that the addition of the 21 year old can provide strength in their midfield.
