This update reflects the picture on 17 September 2026. Manchester United’s pursuit of Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba has driven transfer talk in recent weeks, and reporter Fabrizio Romano now says the Reds are far from finished in the market. Nothing below has been confirmed by the club, so treat every claim as reporting rather than an announcement.
H2: Updated introduction: Manchester United transfer latest
United’s business this summer has centred on strengthening the midfield, with Baleba the standout name linked with a move to Old Trafford. As it stands, no deal has been finalised, and the club have made no official statement on his future. Romano’s latest comments, made on his own YouTube channel, add a fresh layer to the story by suggesting United’s activity will not stop with one signing.
H2: Manchester United’s chase for Carlos Baleba
Manchester United have been pursuing Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba throughout the summer window. The 22-year-old has established himself as one of the Premier League’s most in-demand young midfielders, and United’s recruitment staff are understood to see him as a priority to add steel and mobility to the middle of the park.
Supporters have followed Fabrizio Romano’s update on Manchester United closely, given his track record on transfer stories involving the club. Even so, interest from United does not amount to a completed transfer, and Baleba’s situation should be treated as ongoing rather than settled.
Brighton have not commented publicly on any approach, and neither club has confirmed terms, a fee or a timeline. Until Manchester United announce something official, the Baleba links remain exactly that: strong reporting, not a done deal.
H2: Fabrizio Romano reveals Manchester United’s next transfer plans
According to Fabrizio Romano on his YouTube channel, as reported by Football365 and GiveMeSport, Manchester United’s summer transfer business is “absolutely not over”. Romano says the club plan to pursue further targets once their move for Carlos Baleba is resolved, rather than treating that single deal as their final piece of business.
That framing matters for United supporters weighing up the closing stages of the window. Romano’s reporting points to a club still working through options beyond Baleba, with recruitment staff apparently keen to keep building depth and competition across the squad.
It is worth stressing what this is and is not. Romano’s comments come from his own reporting, not from any Manchester United statement, and no further names have been confirmed as targets. His track record gives the claim weight, but until the club themselves announce fresh business, it remains an informed report rather than fact.
H2: What happens next
For now, Manchester United fans should wait for official confirmation before treating any of this as done business. The Baleba pursuit is still unresolved, and Romano’s suggestion of further activity after that deal remains unverified by the club.
United’s recruitment team appears intent on staying active as the window moves toward its close, but nothing is guaranteed until paperwork is signed and Old Trafford makes it official. Expect more reporting from trusted outlets in the days ahead, but only a club statement will settle where things stand with Baleba and any names that follow him.
