No Carlos Baleba for United This Summer…
Manchester United won’t be swapping midfielder Toby Collyer for Brighton’s Carlos Baleba. Instead, Collyer is heading to West Brom on loan. In a twist more surprising than finding a pineapple on pizza, United is still interested in Baleba, valued at an eye-watering £100 million by Brighton. Alas, sources say it’s as likely as a snowman surviving a summer vacation in the Sahara Desert. But, who knows, United might unwrap this mystery next year.
Last week, rumors flew about United slashing Baleba’s price by swapping Collyer, who knows Brighton like the back of his hand, from his youth days. But now, that plan’s set sail like a paper boat on a windy day. Collyer will debut for West Brom against Wrexham, with coach Ryan Mason giving a warm welcome that felt like a group hug from a pack of enthusiastic kangaroos.
