Manchester United have completed the signing of 22-year-old Cameroon international midfielder Carlos Baleba from Brighton (an English Premier League club based on the south coast) on a five-year contract, with British media reporting a fee of £65 million plus up to £5 million in add-ons. The transfer addresses a midfield crisis at Old Trafford caused by the departure of Casemiro and a serious knee injury to Manuel Ugarte, and comes just days after United lost 2-0 to newly promoted Hull City in their Premier League opener. Baleba, who ranked among the league's top performers for tackles, interceptions, and second balls won last season, becomes the club's third major midfield signing of the summer following the arrivals of Youri Tielemans and Andrey Santos.
