Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler has spoken out on Carlos Baleba’s future, insisting he remains confident despite mounting interest from Manchester United.

Man United are understood to still be looking to sign a new midfielder before the end of the transfer window on September 1st.

Ruben Amorim’s side have been heavily linked with a move for Brighton midfielder Baleba, 21, but it looks unlikely due to the £100 million plus asking price.

Speaking ahead of their Premier League clash with Man City on Sunday (August 31), Hurzeler didn’t seem worried about losing the midfielder.

On Baleba, Hurzeler said: "If there is a number more than 100 per cent, I would say more than 100, so fantastically confident."
