Hurzeler’s Confidence in Baleba’s Stay…
Brighton’s manager, Fabian Hurzeler, is as confident as a cat in a sock factory that Carlos Baleba will stay at the club this summer. The Manchester Evening News chirped on Friday that United’s plans could be postponed until next year as they try untangling the finances behind a potential £100 million deal. Meanwhile, Ruben Amorim is tightening his midfield thinkers. Toby Collyer’s planned deep dive into Championship waters at West Ham is imminent, adding layers to the conundrum at United over midfield depth.
In a scene as harmonious as a penguin ballet, Hurzeler assured the world that Baleba is staying put. “I am very, very confident,” he declared, as Baleba continues to miss pre-season friendlies due to a knee problem but is in line for a potential start against Fulham. Elsewhere, Amorim has collected an impressive set of fresh talents with a budget that rivals a small country’s GDP, spending close to £200 million. But it seems they have more shopping on their list – truly, United’s spending spree knows no end.
