Man Utd transfer news: Manu Kone and Carlos Baleba strongly considered in search for third midfielder signing

Roma's Manu Kone and Brighton's Carlos Baleba are two options who are being strongly considered by Manchester United as their search for a third midfield signing continues.

It is understood the club have made movement in revisiting a potential deal for the 22-year-old this summer, but no official club-to-club contact has been made yet, and a compromise around the player's valuation would need to be found.

Roma's Kone is viewed as an alternative target, with the Italian club's demands not expected to be as high as Brighton's for Baleba over a potential transfer fee.

Man Utd have tentatively explored what a deal could look like for the France international, who largely impressed at this summer's World Cup.
