The Red Devils have expressed interest in signing the Brighton player.
In a bold attempt to assist Manchester United in acquiring Carlos Baleba from Brighton, a supporter has created a GoFundMe campaign.
According to the Daily Mail, an irate United supporter has set up a GoFundMe campaign to solicit money for the team’s optimistic transfer of Baleba to Old Trafford.
The midfielder’s high asking price and the Seagulls’ reluctance to sell make any deal unlikely, according to reports. But the club are now still examining the terms of a possible deal to sign him.
Ian M, the fan who started the page, is trying to raise £120 million ($161 million), which is a significant amount of money. This website’s most successful charity appeal, called ‘America’s food fund,’ raised about £34 million ($45 million). In addition to Diego Leon, United have already acquired Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha this summer.

As of this writing, Ian has raised £28 so far. Although United will keep looking into a deal for Baleba, it’s uncertain if they will be successful in acquiring the talented midfield player.
The Red Devils have been active in the transfer window and have already splurged enough money. They have recently struck an agreement, as reported, with RB Leipzig to sign Benjamin Sesko as they hope to address their attacking woes.
