Manchester United just splashed out $70 million for 22-year-old Cameroonian midfielder Carlos Baleba, their third midfield recruit this summer after Tielemans and Santos. Signed to a five-year deal with an option for one more year, Baleba — who made over 100 appearances for Brighton since joining from Lille — called United his “dream club” and is eager to learn from manager Michael Carrick. Though he’s thrilled to be at Old Trafford, Baleba’s debut is delayed: he’s sidelined with ankle ligament damage sustained in pre-season and won’t return until mid-September. Despite the injury and United’s shaky start — including a loss to Hull — Baleba remains bullish on the team’s title ambitions, aiming to help them win their 21st Premier League crown by their 150th anniversary in 2028.
