What happened. Manchester United are in talks to sign Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba, having made an initial £60m offer that is below Brighton's valuation.

• United attempted to sign Baleba last summer but were put off by a £100m+ valuation.
• Baleba is out with an ankle ligament injury for another two to three weeks.
• United already signed midfielders Andrey Santos and Youri Tielemans this summer.

Talks are continuing, but Brighton's valuation must be met for a deal to progress.
