Carlos Baleba suffers ankle injury, affecting potential Man Utd transfer

Carlos Baleba's hopes of transferring to Manchester United have diminished after suffering an ankle injury during pre-season. The Brighton midfielder, who was previously on United's radar, had been a key target but now faces uncertainty as the season approaches. Last summer, Baleba was prioritized by United but financial concerns halted a deal. This year, despite interest, United's focus shifted to alternative signings, adding Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans. Baleba's injury may not significantly impact United's midfield plans, as he was already considered a secondary option amidst other potential targets.
