Manchester United have inquired about Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba
Manchester United's agreement to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko for £74m will take their summer spending on their forward line past £200m, but now the question is 'who is going to play in midfield?'
Head coach Ruben Amorim was determined to massively increase his side's goal output having scored just 44 times in the league last season, their worst return since being relegated in 1973-74.
Sesko will be the third attacking arrival this summer after Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, but centre midfield remains an issue for United, with a question mark or two around each of the candidates to play one of those two positions.
And that has led to the club quietly trying to establish what the terms would be to sign Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba from Brighton.
