United Boss Demands Midfield Reinforcement in “Intense” Board Meeting – Ferdinand Praises Attacking Overhaul
Manchester United’s new era under Ruben Amorim is heating up, with the Portuguese coach reportedly pushing the club’s hierarchy to secure the signing of Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba before the transfer window slams shut.
According to reports from Indykaila, an “intense” board meeting took place on Tuesday, where Amorim made it clear the 20-year-old Cameroonian is a must-have addition to his revamped squad. The Red Devils are now preparing an official bid to test Brighton’s resolve, with the club’s credit facility reportedly activated to fund the move.
This comes as United legend Rio Ferdinand publicly endorsed the potential signing, while lavishing praise on the club’s attacking overhaul. Taking to social media, the former defender posted: “Mobility in Man United attack. Let’s gooooo! Baleba now pls.”
Amorim’s Midfield Priority
Despite already splashing out on a completely new-look frontline – Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and Benjamin Šeško arriving to replace last season’s misfiring duo of Rasmus Højlund and Joshua Zirkzee – Amorim is determined to strengthen his midfield.
Baleba, who impressed in his debut Premier League season with Brighton, has emerged as United’s top target to bring balance to their engine room. The young enforcer’s combative style and ball-carrying ability are seen as ideal traits for Amorim’s system.
Indykaila teased fans with a cryptic update: “Bid is imminent after board meeting! Amorim made it clear – Baleba is non-negotiable.”
Ferdinand’s Stamp of Approval
Ferdinand, in a passionate video breakdown, hailed United’s new attacking signings but urged the club to complete the puzzle with Baleba’s arrival.
“The mobility in the front areas now is something, as a defender, I’m looking at and thinking differently about United’s attack,” he said. “Physicality, pace, power – the recruitment team have delivered. But now, who’s next?”
The former England star emphasized that while the new forwards must “go and deliver,” the focus must shift to reinforcing the midfield.
What’s Next?
With the September 1 deadline looming, United’s pursuit of Baleba could accelerate in the coming days. Brighton, known for their tough negotiating stance, will demand a premium for their rising star.
For Amorim, this signing could be the final piece in his summer rebuild – a statement that United are serious about competing at the highest level again. As Ferdinand put it: “Ruben has to set this team up now… but is there more to come?”
One thing is clear: Old Trafford is buzzing with anticipation. The question is – will Baleba be the next name through the door?
