Manchester United have contacted Brighton & Hove Albion to discuss a January deal for long-time target Carlos Baleba, it has emerged.
United manager Ruben Amorim has not hidden his desire for midfield reinforcements and Baleba climbed to the top of the club’s shortlist during the summer, when the need for an expensive new forward line left them unwilling to proceed with a deal expected to cost upwards of £100 million ($134.5 million).
