Manchester United may use Carlos Baleba in unexpected position

Carlos Baleba could soon join Manchester United from Brighton as a key midfield signing. Recent reports indicate that discussions between the two clubs are advanced, with potential moves for other left-back options stalled. Baleba has primarily played in midfield but might be utilized at left-back due to his left-footedness and previous experience at center-back. The United side aims to finalize their left-back acquisition to ensure Baleba isn’t needed in defense unless necessary, allowing him to focus on the midfield role for which he is best suited.
