Paul Scholes tells Man United that £100m-rated Ruben Amorim target is NOT the player they need

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has warned his former club against signing Brighton's £100m-rated star Carlos Baleba, amid doubts over his quality.

The Red Devils had pursued Baleba during the summer transfer window, but Brighton demanded in excess of £100m to part with the midfielder.

Earlier this week, reports emerged that Baleba remains on a shortlist of targets aimed at strengthening Ruben Amorim's midfield.

Daily Mail Sport's Man United Confidential reported that Baleba, Elliot Anderson and Adam Wharton remain long-term targets, but are not seen as likely deals in the January transfer window.
