Manchester United reportedly want to spend a potential club-record sum on Carlos Baleba. Many wonder how such a thing could be possible for a club whose minority owner warned of a risk of insolvency.

Manchester United could be prepared to spend a record-breaking £112million on Carlos Baleba this summer, it has been claimed. Ruben Amorim's side remains in the market for a new midfielder and the Brighton man has emerged as their top target for that position.

That’s why United’s interest in Brighton & Hove Albion’s Carlos Baleba makes sense. The 21-year-old is an all-action, front-footed midfielder who hoovers up ground for fun. Not only would he add intensity to the heart of the pitch, but his quality in and out of possession offers something United lack.
