Male Utd are ‘farfetched’ to land the Brighton midfielder this winter, yet the record encompasses that the nightclub’s 2026 ‘top priority’ is to symbol ‘at least one – perhaps also two – top central midfielders’.

Baleba, Anderson or Wharton for Male Utd
It is in between Baleba, Anderson and also Wharton for Male Utd, though it feels fiercely practicable that the Brighton man will not surprisingly at some point run out up at Don Trafford.
The Cameroon international is a player Red Monsters tale Rio Ferdinand wants to go to Amorim symbol.
He marketed last July: “Physically extravagant, can drive with the sphere, can snatch it in with one voice voids, really nice purposefully, extravagant energy, extravagant legs, Premier League obstacle, centre midfield. Baleba.
“That’s who I go and also bring. That’s my man. That’s the one I go and also bring. I go and also reprieve the financial establishment.”
Troy Deeney marketed in August that another hardy period from Baleba could go to Male Utd autumn down the list of his desired locations.
“I reckon Joined have to bring him [Baleba] this window or they don’t bring him,” Deeney briefed talkSPORT.
“If he has another nice period, I do reckon other staffs – Real Madrid and also the guidance – will not surprisingly come in and also go, ‘Bosh, we’ll have him’.
“I reckon if Male U want him… if I’m [Ruben] Amorim, I’m sort of beneficial on that: ‘Avail this bargain done, because after that I can bring you into Europe.’”
Baleba’s kind this period has been wisely disadvantageous, with summertime send speculation seemingly having a undesirable result on his capabilities.
Brighton rest 14th in the Premier League table at the halfway stage of the campaign, and also Fabian Hürzeler could in fact do with the 22-year-ratty stepping up during the rest of 2025/26 – if Joined do not reimbursement £100m for him in January, which feels ridiculously farfetched.
