It has been mentioned that the Red Devils could go back to sign the Cameroonian talent at the end of this campaign after failing to land him last summer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Baleba\u2019s Impressive Form In The Premier League<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Baleba is having another solid campaign at the English club as he has been responsible for putting in a handful of impressive performances for them in the Premier League. The 21-year-old has played in 14 matches for Brighton this season in all competitions.<\/p>\n<p>The Cameroonian talent has offered decent protection for his teammates at the back and has done well to make 12 tackles, four blocks, ten interceptions and 11 clearances in the Premier League. He has even been tidy when distributing possession from midfield after completing 85% of his attempted passes in the English first division (stats via <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a1390d2f\/Carlos-Baleba\">fbref.com<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>His current contract at the American Express Community Stadium will run out in the summer of 2028. Thus, it won\u2019t be easy for Man United to land him on the cheap next year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_336609\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-336609\"><img loading=\"lazy\" data-lazyloaded=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Manchester United\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-1260x840.jpg 1260w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/crystal-palace-v-brighton-and-hove-albion-premier-league-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-336609\">LONDON, ENGLAND \u2013 NOVEMBER 09: Carlos Baleba of Brighton &#038; Hove Albion during the Premier League match between Crystal Palace and Brighton &#038; Hove Albion at Selhurst Park on November 09, 2025 in London, England.

He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the offensive and is a tidy passer of the ball as well.<\/p>\n<p>> <ins data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1320500389249449\" data-ad-slot=\"3943052428\" data-ad-format=\"auto\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>  <\/p>\n<p>However, the Cameroonian sensation has to find a way to improve his productivity in the final third. Baleba already knows the <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/\">Premier League<\/a> well and won\u2019t take much time to adjust to life at Man United.<\/p>\n<p>We can expect him to inject more bite and steel into Ruben Amorim\u2019s midfield department. He is good enough to fight for a regular starting spot at Old Trafford in the coming years.<\/p>\n<p>At 21, the future looks quite bright for Baleba as long as he continues to improve with each season. The Cameroonian talent could even help <a href=\"https:\/\/the4thofficial.net\/category\/leagues\/english-premier-league\/manchester-united\/\">Man United<\/a> compete across all fronts over the next few years. Hence, he would be an excellent choice for the Red Devils to pursue this January or at the end of this campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a recent report, The Evening Standard revealed that Manchester United could reignite their interest in Brighton and Hove Albion midfielder Carlos Baleba.
