Manchester United poised to drop Carlos Baleba transfer amid doubts

Manchester United are weighing the option of ending a potential deal for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, with reports indicating "serious doubts" about proceeding. The club had previously agreed personal terms with the Cameroonian international, but the agreement is contingent on Brighton's asking price and United's valuation, which may have decreased after a less consistent season.

Sources say Baleba remains keen to join United and would sign quickly if the clubs reach a price they both consider fair. United have already signed two midfielders this window and are evaluating a third target, while Brighton is known for tough negotiations. The uncertainty has led some insiders to suggest United should pull the plug on the transfer altogether.
