Popular football journalist Ben Jacobs has said that Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba only wants to join Manchester United this summer. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Revealing that the deal for the Cameroon international could easily be done if MUFC are willing to meet his club’s asking price, Ben stated that Baleba’s has maintained his United preference since last season.
Jacobs added that if the Red Devils hierarchy decides to pursue the midfielder this summer, personal terms will not be a problem.
His words, “If they’re prepared to meet the asking price, they could again do it relatively quickly because he is in a scenario like Youri Tielemans, where he said last summer he only wants Manchester United, and the player’s perspective hasn’t changed.
So if they come calling, personal terms will not be a problem.
They could get the player buy-in, which means that they could get that singular negotiation with Brighton instead of a bidding war.
But we’re just not at that stage yet because it’s Manchester United that have put the brakes on as they assess who this third midfielder is going to be.”
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
