Fabian Hurzeler says he’s “very, very, very confident” that Carlos Baleba will remain a Brighton player this season. The 21-year-old has been the subject of interest from Manchester United, with reports stating that an opening player plus cash bid was rejected by Brighton.

Manchester United are reportedly willing to wait until next summer to sign Carlos Baleba, with a deal for the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder 'unlikely' before the end of the current market. Baleba, 21, is Man United's leading target at this stage of proceedings, with the club working to sign a central midfielder before the September deadline.
