Man United dealt double transfer blow as Fabian Hurzeler sends defiant four-word message amid Carlos Baleba pursuit - after Red Devils setback in chase for £68m back-up option

Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has expressed his confidence that Man United target Carlos Baleba will stay at the club this summer.

Baleba, 21, has emerged as one of the best young midfielders in the Premier League since joining from Lille in 2023 - and the Cameroon international enjoyed a breakout campaign in 2024-25.

His form has since seen him linked with a move away, with United eyeing Baleba as an ideal signing in midfield this summer.

A price tag of £120million has been mooted for the 21-year-old and United have failed to make progress in any potential deal, with Daily Mail Sport reporting this week how reports of an agreement being struck were wide of the mark.
