🚨 BREAKING:
Carlos Baleba has made his intentions clear and has verbally asked Brighton to let him leave the club and move to Manchester United.

I think I’ve underestimated, or maybe haven’t talked enough about how much Manchester United need a new goalkeeper this window.
Forget Onana’s howlers and weak box command, his distribution has never been convincing. Too often he goes long when he should go short, or vice versa, and even the quality of his passes has dropped massively compared to his Inter days. Will that change? I’m not sure.
Bayindir isn’t the answer either and his preseason only reinforced how average his distribution is.
Why does this matter? As @Jon_Mackenzie explains in the quoted video, with Sesko in, we’ll want to go long more often when teams apply consistent pressure.
Quality long balls into space or directly to Sesko, for him to chest down, flick, or head to a teammate will be vital for exploiting the central overloads we aim to create.
Question is, should we go for a shot stopper? (Donnarumma) or aim to get a more of a “ball-playing” GK?
Don’t know how true this is but I’m putting all of my faith in you big bro, you better be right.
If it’s true, no surprise that personal terms are not too tricky to sort out, it’s the club-to-club negotiations which I think will be hard here but fingers crossed 🤞
Firstly, a big shoutout to the reporter who reached out with this exclusive 💣
📍Baleba wants out/Personal terms agreed ⬇️
Carlos Baleba has made his intentions clear, he's verbally 🗣️ asked Brighton to let him move to @ManUtd.
And it gets even more interesting because Baleba’s agent has given the thumbs 👍 up on the personal terms offer if @OfficialBHAFC agrees to let him go this summer ☀️.
Brighton at this moment have not nudge from their £100m 💷 valuation on the player.
🚨EXCLUSIVE: Manchester United submits official contract proposal to Carlos Baleba camp 🔴💣
Baleba camp have received an offer from #mufc! Contract until 2030 (+1 year option) with a ‘significant’ increase on his current £12,500 a week
I always find it amusing that high level pros almost always show each other the utmost respect, while their fans go at it like sworn enemies.
Rivalry and tribalism aren’t the same.
🚨🗣 JUST IN - Fabrizio Romano:
"Man Utd are speaking again and again, even TODAY, with the agents of Carlos Baleba about the CONTRACT and SALARY.
"United want to advance on player's side and then see what happens with Brighton..
"Man Utd want to try." [@FabrizioRomano, YT]
Hojlund ‘is not scared by competition’ with Benjamin Sesko’s arrival
Højlund’s camp said to be approached by #AcMilan and his camp have not yet opened talks and seemingly trying to push Højlund’s firm choice to stay
🚨Manchester United have become slightly dissatisfied with Rasmus Højlund’s stubbornness to stay at the club 🔴
Amorim + other #mufc staff have told Højlund a move out on an initial loan could really benefit him
Højlund instant his future is at Old Trafford
This is the most important thing I have heard regarding Šeško.
We know Amorim wants him for tactical reasons:
- aerial qualities for direct play,
- ability to run the channels as part of Amorim’s automatisms.
But he talks about his character here and
‘holding him back’. HUGE!!
