Manchester United are reportedly exploring a January move for Brighton's £115million-rated midfielder Carlos Baleba. It would take a club record fee if United were to meet the asking price set by the Seagulls when they made tentative enquiries in August. United are 'also looking at younger talents like Lille’s Ayyoub Bouaddi and Olympiacos’ Christos Mouzakitis', according to Sky reporter Danyal Khan. As Daily Mail Sport has previously reported, Baleba is among United's midfield primary targets. Bournemouth's Tyler Adams is also a name that has cropped up in conversations over United’s potential midfield targets at around £40m.
