Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler is “very, very confident” that Carlos Baleba will stay at the club this summer despite links with Manchester United. Ruben Amorim is pushing to sign the 21-year-old as he seeks to strengthen in midfield after heavy investment in Manchester United’s forward line earlier in the window.

B RIGHTON HEAD COACH Fabian Hurzeler is “very, very, very confident” Carlos Baleba will remain at the club despite being linked with a move to Manchester United.

Manchester United are reportedly willing to wait until next summer to sign Carlos Baleba, with a deal for the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder 'unlikely' before the end of the current market. Baleba, 21, is Man United's leading target at this stage of proceedings, with the club working to sign a central midfielder before the September deadline.
