Manchester United have made some big moves in the summer transfer window.
After their disappointing season in 2024-25, which saw them finish 15th in the Premier League and lose the Europa League final against Tottenham, they have shown ambition this summer to improve the quality of their squad.
Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo have arrived while Marus Rashford has left and the same could happen with Antony, Jadon Sancho and Alejandro Garnacho soon.
The club’s next big target is to complete the signing of striker Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig after getting the green light from the Slovenia international attacker.
The club’s attack is in the process of completely getting revamped and it was something that was desperately needed at Old Trafford.
Failures of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee left Amorim with no choice but to make big changes.
Man United are looking to sign Brighton’s Carlos Baleba
The Red Devils are now set to turn their attention towards making reinforcements in the midfield and Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba is firmly on their radar.

Brighton rate the midfielder at around £100m which means that the Red Devils are set to be involved in another big money transfer saga.

The Red Devils have already established contact with the player’s camp and they have received encouraging signals.
Baleba is fits the profile of the player Amorim is looking for to add to his midfield next season.
