Ruben Amorim \u2018wants\u2019 Manchester United to sign Southampton\u2019s Mateus Fernandes after the Red Devils were dealt a blow in their bid to sign top midfield target Carlos Baleba.<\/p>\n
United have already signed Matheus Cunha (\u00a362.5m), Bryan Mbeumo (\u00a365m), Benjamin Sesko (\u00a374m) and Diego Leon (\u00a37m)<\/a>\u00a0this summer despite Sir Jim Ratcliffe\u2019s insistence that they\u2019re short on cash.<\/p>\n And reports suggest they still want to bring in a goalkeeper and central midfielder before the window closes on September 1.<\/p>\n Brighton\u2019s Baleba<\/a> is reportedly seen as the \u2018perfect\u2019 midfielder by Amorim and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano brought an update on the Red Devils chase of the Seagulls star on Tuesday, with United looking to \u201cunderstand the final official cost\u201d before making a bid.<\/p>\n Romano said: \u201cThey would also like to know the actual cost because with Brighton, it\u2019s never easy to negotiate, and they are very good at negotiations.<\/p>\n \u201cSo in this context, they are having with the agents of the player, they are waiting to understand how much it will cost, because the rumour in the industry is something around \u00a3120million.<\/p>\n \u201cBut at the moment, Manchester United are still waiting to understand the final official cost for Baleba \u2013 to understand when and how to try to make a bid, and to try to approach Brighton for Baleba.<\/p>\n \u201cFor sure, the player is keen on the move, and the player is not closing doors to Manchester United even without European football. Baleba is keen on joining Manchester United, and now it will depend on the two clubs. My understanding is that Manchester United want to try.\u201d<\/p>\n MORE ON MAN UTD FROM F365\u2026
