United's Tchouameni Alternative: Carlos Baleba
Manchester United is considering Brighton's Carlos Baleba alongside Tchouameni for their third midfield signing. Reports suggest that personal terms have been agreed with the player.
United's Search for a Third Midfielder
Manchester United has added two midfielders to their squad this summer: Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans joined the club this month. However, the club is still looking for a third signing to fill the void left by Casemiro, who departed at the end of last season.
It has been reported that United has long been linked with Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni, and that the Spanish giants are open to selling the player this summer. However, Tchouameni is not the only option on the table for Old Trafford.
Alternative Name: Carlos Baleba
According to reports, United is also considering making a move for Brighton's Carlos Baleba, who has been strongly linked with the club in recent seasons. It is said that personal terms have been agreed with the player — indicating that United is keeping multiple avenues open in their search for a midfielder.
Conclusion: A Dual Strategy
United's decision to keep both Tchouameni and Baleba options on the table shows that the club is taking a flexible approach in their pursuit of a third midfield signing. Which name will emerge as the frontrunner will depend on the course of negotiations between the clubs in the coming weeks.
