Manchester United reportedly want to spend a potential club-record sum on Carlos Baleba. Many wonder how such a thing could be possible for a club whose minority owner warned of a risk of insolvency.

Man United are hungry for more additions ahead of the summer transfer window closing for business on September 1.

Manchester United are set to make a second bid for Carlos Baleba this week after making the Brighton midfielder their next key transfer target. United have already spent more than £200million on Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko to transform their forward line, and now Ruben Amorim wants to bolster his midfield.
