Carlos Baleba Eager for Manchester United Move as Talks Begin

Brighton’s Carlos Baleba declares love for Manchester United as club opens talks for midfield star.

 

 

 

 

 

In a passionate declaration sure to excite Manchester United fans, Brighton’s talented Cameroonian midfielder Carlos Baleba has made his intentions crystal clear. Speaking live to Fabrizio Romano, Baleba said:

 

> “This is Manchester United to me — Manchester United is heaven. Champions League or not, I want to be addressed as a DEVIL.”

 

 

 

The 20-year-old’s bold statement has come as United intensify their midfield recruitment plans. Sources close to the club confirm that direct contact has already been made with Baleba’s representatives, and negotiations over personal terms are not expected to pose any issues.

 

Manchester United have now opened formal talks with Brighton, signalling a serious intent to bring Baleba to Old Trafford. Known for his physical presence, technical composure, and high work rate, Baleba has quickly established himself as one of the Premier League’s brightest young midfield talents since his move from Lille in 2023.

 

Erik ten Hag is reportedly a huge admirer of the player’s energy and adaptability, seeing him as an ideal fit for United’s evolving midfield. The club’s recruitment team is believed to be pushing for a deal to be finalised before the end of the current transfer window.

 

With Baleba’s own words making his desire to join United unmistakable, the focus now shifts to negotiations between the two clubs. Brighton are expected to demand a significant fee for the player, but United’s determination — coupled with Baleba’s eagerness — could see this move gather pace quickly.

 

If successful, this signing could inject fresh dynamism into United’s midfield, and Baleba’s dream of becoming a “Devil” might soon become a reality.
