Fabian Hurzeler said he is extremely confident that Carlos Baleba will remain with Brighton this season despite heavy interest from Manchester United. After big spending on revitalising their attacking options, United have now turned their attention to bolstering their midfield, with Baleba emerging as a top target.

Brighton are determined to keep hold of the 21-year-old - who they value at over £100million. Consequently, The Manchester Evening News reported on Friday that United are content to wait until next year to pursue a deal for Baleba if they have to.

Carlos Baleba's Brighton future is up in the air and Man United are pushing hard to agree landmark deal very soon
