Manchester United’s January Transfer Plans: Midfield Focus

Manchester United is gearing up to strengthen their midfield options come January.

Targeting Carlos Baleba

Following unsuccessful negotiations with Brighton over the summer regarding Carlos Baleba, the Cameroon international is still on the club’s list of potential recruits.

Alternative Options

The Daily Express reports that Baleba is likely to garner interest from United during the winter transfer window, as the club is eager to enhance their midfield.

• Conor Gallagher is also being considered as a viable alternative. Should United fail to finalize a deal with Brighton for Baleba, they may pivot to pursue Gallagher, who currently plays for Atletico Madrid after transferring from Chelsea.

Gallagher is now in his second season with Atletico and could become a key target for Manchester United if their initial plans do not materialize.
