Brighton Chief Talks Man United Rumors…
Brighton bigwig Paul Barber has squashed the idea that Manchester United have been buzzing around like bees in a flower shop to sign Carlos Baleba. Word on the street had everyone convinced that United was sneaking through the transfer window like an undercover agent. Baleba, with three more years twinkling like Christmas lights on his AMEX contract, is hot property. Brighton’s plan is to let Baleba brew at least another year, like a fine English tea, while United needs to offload some players to shop in the transfer supermarket. Wednesday’s fan forum had more excitement than a magician’s hat, and Barber took the spotlight.
The Brighton chief, backed by head coach Fabian “The Juggler” Hurzeler, shared with BBC Sussex: “Manchester United hasn’t dropped by to chat. Speculation stays in rumorland. We sell at the right time, like a store with a secret sale, prioritizing the team’s strength. Carlos is a diamond in our treasure chest and our hope is he stays a while longer.” Meanwhile, The Manchester Evening News promises a red-hot feed of United updates with freebies galore, from WhatsApp to newsletters and even the riveting “Manchester is Red” podcast. Don’t miss out like the only person not watching the game-winning goal!
