Manchester United are unlikely to further pursue a deal for Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba before the end of the transfer window, according to reports. United are keen to strengthen their options in central midfield and identified Baleba as their top target this summer.

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

Hjulmand is a defensive midfielder and would be a cheaper option until United revisit their interest in Baleba at the end of the season. It would surely be better to bring in a midfielder instead of no new signing.
