Baleba Sidelined with Knee Issue, Not Transfer Talks…
Brighton’s manager Fabian Hurzeler has squashed the rumors surrounding Carlos Baleba after the young star missed the club’s last pre-season game. Manchester United is eyeing Baleba like a cat eyeing a particularly tasty mouse, but Hurzeler assured everyone that Baleba’s absence was due to a minor knee issue, not because he’s busy packing his bags for Manchester. With a potential price tag of £100m from the tight-fisted Seagulls, United might have to sell Old Trafford souvenirs to afford him!
With Manchester United eyeing a big-budget swoop, the future of Baleba is causing as much excitement as a squirrel trapped in a candy store. Brighton’s 2-1 win over Wolfsburg saw Hurzeler confirming Baleba trained steadily with the gang, just like a lazy ninja guarding his knee. Also with only three weeks left in the transfer window, United is hunting for that final piece of the puzzle. The Portuguese boss Ruben Amorim is piecing together his midfield dream to support the mighty Bruno Fernandes, looking more determined than a cat stuck in a room full of laser pointers!
