Manchester United has been impressive in the new season so far as they are presently on the top half of the table. It may not be a great look for a 20 times English League champion but their present condition is definitely better than whatever they did last season. Things are slowly improving for them under their new boss, Ruben Amorim, and the fans are ready to trust the process.
Everybody expected Manchester United to be active in the summer transfer window. They spent over £200 million in the transfer window, but most of their budget was spent on their forward line up. They bought three major forwards, and these three forwards have been quite impressive in the new season so far, especially Bryan Mbeumo.
Bayern Munich enter the race to sign Carlos Baleba
But presently, they need strengths in each and every position, including their midfield, where they had their prime target set on Carlos Baleba of Brighton and Hove Albion. They were desperate to sign the Cameroonian international in the summer transfer window, and they went all in for the star midfielder.
Manchester United are also interested in signing Carlos Baleba
But Brighton stuck a price tag of €100 million for Carlos Baleba, and Manchester United decided to wait until next season to move for him once again. The 21 year old still remains the biggest target of The Red Devils, and some sources even suggest that a former Premier League Champions would consider moving for him in the winter transfer window to seal their UEFA Champions League spot for next season.
Brighton and Hove Albion may consider dropping the price to €85 million
But latest reports from Philipp Kessler suggest that German Giants Bayern Munich are also interested in signing the Cameroonian international as they want him as the long term replacement of their star midfielder Leon Goretzka. The German International has been active at Bayern Munich Football Club for the last seven seasons, and he has been one of the key midfielders of the squad.
Reports suggest that Brighton and Hove Albion will consider a bid of €85 million for Carlos Baleba, and Bayern Munich will also be their priority to sell their star midfielder, since Manchester United are their direct rivals. Reports also suggest that the former Premier League Champions are willing to move for the 22 year old in the winter transfer window to avoid any competition in the next summer.
