Manchester United defeated Brighton (Cantonese translation: Brighton) 4-2 in the last Premier League game. There was an unexpected discovery in this game, which was the target player Amorim wanted to poach, Brighton midfielder Carlos · Baleba’s performance in this game was unremarkable. The “Seagull Legion” Brighton transfer fee was as high as 120 million pounds. If this player’s performance on the field continues to be such a sluggish performance, and the transfer fee remains so high, Manchester United will definitely give up consideration.

Amorim has always wanted to buy a midfielder to replace Casemiro, whose contract expires next summer. The first choice target is the 21-year-old Cameroon midfielder Baleba. However, during the trial period this summer, Brighton turned out to be the Lion and asked for 120 million pounds. The transfer negotiations fell through before they started.

In the last game, Manchester United played against Brighton. Manchester United's senior management had the opportunity to inspect the goods in person and went head-to-head with the midfielder who was priced at over 100 million pounds. As a result, Baleba's performance on the field was disappointing. In this game, Baleba's performance was abnormal and he was substituted before he played the full game. Some media analyzed that Baleba's abnormal performance in the game against Manchester United was because of the rumors of Manchester United's transfer acquisition, which can be regarded as a vote for his future club.

However, after this battle, Manchester United club executives believe that Baleba's transfer fee is definitely not worth 120 million pounds. If Brighton refuses to reduce the price for promotion, and Baleba cannot improve his performance on the field in the future, Manchester United will choose to abandon the acquisition of Baleba and instead look for other suitable midfield target players.
