So January&#8217;s signing for the summer is still difficult.

We&#8217;ll see what opportunities there are in January or ultimately in the summer transfer window. But midfield will be an important position to cover for Manchester United next year in 2026.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baleva_wanted_to_move_to_Manchester_United\"><\/span>Baleva wanted to move to Manchester United<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Manager David Ornstein reported in the summer that Baleva was open to a move to United, so it won&#8217;t be an issue if he tries to reinstate his contract in the future.<\/p>\n<p>MUFC fans will be hoping the club remains in pole position for the talented young player, but one might imagine that other big names will also be in the running for his signature.<\/p>\n<p>Brighton have also brought in star players such as Moises Caicedo, Marc Cucurella, Leandro Trossard and Joao Pedro, with Baleva likely to be their next big sale.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End -->\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carlos Baleva in action during Brighton vs. Everton (Photo by Michael Regan\/Getty Images) Manchester United are still considering a move for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleva, according to Fabrizio Romano.
