Manchester United are close to finalising a transfer for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba and are actively working on signing Barcelona left-back Alejandro Balde. This comes from trusted insider Fabrizio Romano.
The Reds have fully agreed personal terms with the Cameroon international and have submitted an official offer. Brighton are expected to give the green light very soon.
Furthermore, United's hierarchy is maintaining a strong presence in the transfer market, eyeing up reinforcements for the left side of defence. The 22-year-old Balde is considered a top-class option and a direct alternative to Lewis Hall. The club is highly enthusiastic about the Spaniard's potential and is extremely focused on his signing.
Romano emphasised the determination of the Red Devils' hierarchy with a succinct phrase:
Don’t underestimate United.
