Man United fans name £100m Premier League midfielder as ‘dream signing’ after Bryan Mbeumo

So far this summer, Amorim has focused on bringing in players with Premier League experience, looking to add both quality and physical presence to his squad.

That approach isn’t likely to change any time soon. United are still in the market for a midfielder, and fans are urging Ineos to move for Brighton’s Carlos Baleba.

The 21-year-old has looked promising during his time at Brighton, and there’s growing support online for him to join Mbeumo at Old Trafford.

One fan posted on X: “This kid is a gem. Let’s attempt Brighton with £55M+£10M in add-ons.”

Another added: “He is my Man Utd dream signing.”

While another post read: “Quicker than most wingers. Strong as any centreback. One man midfield.”

Amorim has faced questions about his 3-4-2-1 formation, and some supporters believe Baleba could be key to making this system work.

What Manchester United would have to pay for Carlos Baleba this summer

Ineos were tracking Baleba in 2023 before his £23m move to Brighton, so a renewed pursuit wouldn’t be out of the question.

His stock has risen significantly since then, thriving under Fabian Hurzeler and becoming a key part of Brighton’s setup.

Reports now suggest his asking price has climbed to £100 million, which would make any deal a real challenge for United.

Ineos have already spent more than £130 million this summer on Matheus Cunha, Mbeumo and Diego Leon, so funds are likely to be tight.

Brighton aren’t under any immediate pressure to sell. Baleba is contracted until 2028 and the club can afford to hold firm on their valuation.
