Carlos Baleba aims for transfer to Manchester United from Brighton

Carlos Baleba of Brighton and Hove Albion has expressed a strong desire to join Manchester United this summer. Journalist Fabrizio Romano noted Baleba previously sought a move to United and remains enthusiastic about the prospect. The 22-year-old midfielder made 35 appearances for Brighton last season but did not record any goals or assists.
