Manchester United has officially signed Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba from fellow English Premier League club Brighton for an understood fee of £70 million. The 22-year-old joins on a contract until 2031, with an option for an additional year, becoming the third midfielder to arrive at Old Trafford this summer, following Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos. Baleba, who previously played for French Ligue 1 side Lille before joining Brighton, is known for his defensive midfield capabilities, ranking high in tackles and interceptions. His arrival helps fill the void left by Casemiro, who has moved to Major League Soccer side Inter Miami. Baleba expressed his excitement to join his "dream club" and work with coach Michael Carrick. Brighton qualified for the UEFA Conference League last season.
