Baleba Joins United for 70M | Manchester United News

Manchester United just completed a blockbuster £65m deal for Carlos Baleba from Brighton, with add-ons and a sell-on clause thrown in — the midfielder’s five-year contract keeps him until 2031. But don’t expect to see him play anytime soon: he’s sidelined recovering from an ankle injury, likely pushing his debut to mid-September. This move fills the void left by Casemiro’s exit and Ugarte’s injury, joining Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans as United’s new midfield trio. It’s also their fourth signing this window, including free-agent keeper Karl Darlow — and interestingly, they nearly pulled off this deal last summer when Brighton demanded a much steeper price.
