Midfield Confusion at Man United…
Fabian Hurzeler is so confident about Carlos Baleba’s stay at Brighton that he might just bet his cat’s collection of mouse toys on it! Despite missing some pre-season friendlies due to a knee injury, Baleba is set to play against Fulham, clearing up any fan-fueled fantasies about a secret move to Manchester United. Brighton isn’t letting go without a fight, valuing him at £100 million, an amount that makes United’s accountants faint on the spot like they’ve seen a ghost.
Meanwhile, United is like a chef without a kitchen, frantically searching for the perfect partner for Bruno Fernandes in midfield. With Ugarte not yet living up to the hype and Casemiro approaching retirement age faster than a banana ripening on a summer day, the club needs fresh legs. Morten Hjulmand is on their radar, rumored to be available for about £50 million. That’s like finding a half-priced treasures in a pirate’s chest compared to Baleba’s valuation! Rumor has it Amorim believes Hjulmand can read the game so well he’d make a killer librarian.
