  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  Ruben Amorim is reported to be a big fan of Brighton star Baleba, who is considered to be a “perfect” fit for any engine room. The 21-year-old is being billed as a “dream” addition for those at Old Trafford.

• DID YOU KNOW?

  Initial contact has been made with Baleba’s representatives, and United “didn’t find closed doors”. Brighton, though, are understandably reluctant to part with a Cameroon international who they snapped up from Lille in 2023.

  WHAT ROMANO SAID

  Fabrizio Romano has told : “It means an important, very important, maybe crazy proposal is needed or Baleba is not available for sale this summer. It’s never easy to negotiate with Brighton, especially with 23 days to go. But Manchester United wanted to try. Let’s see what happens next.”
