Brighton chief executive Paul Barber insists Manchester United have not made contact over a move for Carlos Baleba. Man Utd, who are closing in on the signing of Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig, appear to have identified the Brighton midfielder as their next transfer target.

Manchester United are closing in on a deal to sign Benjamin Sesko from RB Leipzig. The Old Trafford side have been battling Newcastle United for the 22-year-old striker, with both teams submitting offers.
