🔴 Baleba Ticks All the Boxes for Man Utd’s Midfield Rebuild

 

If there’s one area Manchester United have been desperate to strengthen, it’s the heart of midfield—and Carlos Baleba could be exactly the answer.

The 20-year-old Brighton star has been turning heads with his physical presence, relentless work rate, and ability to link defense to attack. He’s the type of player who wins tackles, keeps the ball moving, and has the engine to cover every blade of grass—something United have sorely lacked in recent seasons.

With Casemiro struggling for consistency and fitness, and questions still surrounding the long-term midfield balance, Baleba offers both immediate quality and long-term potential. His profile fits perfectly with Erik ten Hag’s vision of a more dynamic, aggressive, and tactically flexible United side.

The challenge? Brighton won’t let him go cheaply. But if United are serious about fixing their midfield problems once and for all, investing in a player like Baleba might just be the smartest move they could make this summer.
