Starting the season with a loss in the English Premier League, the Manchester United team received reinforcements.

On Tuesday, it was officially announced that the "Red Devils" have added midfielder Carlos Baleba to their ranks.

For the 22-year-old footballer, Brighton will receive around £65 million in a transfer fee.

C. Baleba himself signed a five-year contract, with an option to extend the term for another season.

However, C. Baleba will have to wait for his debut in the new team, as he suffered an injury during preseason preparation. It is likely that the midfielder will return to the pitch at the end of September.
