Manchester United returned to smile at Old Trafford after beating Brighton & Hove Albion 4-2 in a great match that meant more than just three points.

Beyond the result, the Manchester club continues to question if Carlos Baleba really justifies a price of 100 million pounds, a figure that Brighton still defends as his market value, as reported by Flashscore.

Manchester United dominates and maintains doubts about Baleba

Manchester United's victory was convincing on the scoreboard and also in its message. The team led by Rúben Amorim showed a renewed offensive version, with Mbeumo and Cunha putting on a great performance. However, within the club, they still do not believe that Carlos Baleba justifies an investment as massive as the 100 million demanded by Brighton & Hove Albion.

Sources close to the Old Trafford board reveal that United had already contacted Brighton last summer to explore Baleba's signing. At that time, the English club was clear: "he is not for sale." And although United's interest remains alive, the economic conditions continue to be the main obstacle.

Brighton & Hove Albion stands firm on Carlos Baleba

Despite the defeat at Old Trafford, Brighton & Hove Albion has no intention of parting ways with Carlos Baleba. Their coach and sports management trust that the Cameroonian midfielder will return to his best form in the coming weeks. Last season was pivotal for their midfield, but this season his performance has been more erratic.

Brighton insists that they will not entertain offers below 100 million pounds, while Manchester United considers that figure unrealistic in the current context. Even with the financial boost of European qualification, Old Trafford prefers to act prudently.

Baleba's signing cools off, but not ruled out

The general feeling is that Manchester United will continue to monitor Carlos Baleba closely but without rushing. Under Ruben Amorim, Baleba would fit perfectly into his style, yet the new project does not want to begin burdened with such an expensive signing.

Brighton, on the other hand, remains firm in their stance. They do not contemplate immediate negotiations and believe that the Cameroonian midfielder can be a key piece to finish the season successfully.

From Manchester, the analysis is clear: if the price drops, the club will make a move. If not, they will explore other options in the winter transfer market. The team's performance against Brighton & Hove Albion has strengthened confidence in the current squad but has also highlighted the need for a dominant midfielder for the upcoming challenges.

With this 4-2 victory, Manchester United breathes and gains momentum in the Premier League, but the debate remains open. Carlos Baleba remains on the target list, although his signing seems frozen for now due to the 100 million that Old Trafford is not yet willing to pay.

Manchester United celebrated on the field, but in the boardrooms, they continue to reflect: Baleba could be the future of the midfield, but only if Brighton & Hove Albion decides to lower the price. Until then, the wait continues.
