Man Utd 'fully aware' of Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton prices and Ineos prepared to move

Manchester United's Midfield Pursuit

Manchester United are closely monitoring multiple targets, including Carlos Baleba and Adam Wharton, ahead of a busy 2026.

The club's midfield has been a concern, particularly after losing Christian Eriksen on a free transfer. Despite this, manager Ruben Amorim has continued to rely on Casemiro and Bruno Fernandes as a double pivot in his 3-4-2-1 system.

However, with both players in their 30s, the club must consider their long-term replacements. Kobbie Mainoo has struggled to get into the team, and Manuel Ugarte's performance following his 2024 transfer from Paris Saint-Germain is still being evaluated.

Ineos is prepared to make a move, and Manchester United are "fully aware" of the prices for their targets.

Amorim was in the process of phasing Eriksen out of the team, but there would have been demand from United fans to sign a new midfielder if he remained at the club for another season.
