Carlos Baleba's recent transfer to Manchester United has generated considerable excitement among fans and players alike, despite the midfielder yet to make his debut. The 70 million pound deal, which includes various add-ons, marks a significant investment for the club as they look to bolster their squad.

Baleba, who joined United from Brighton, had been on the club's radar since last summer. At that time, he expressed a strong desire to move to Old Trafford, although Brighton was reluctant to sell him. His determination was evident, as he even reached a personal agreement with United during negotiations.

Upon joining, Baleba has impressed his teammates with his humorous and friendly demeanor, making a positive impact in the locker room. According to reports from Sun Sports, he is adapting well to life in Manchester, focusing on recovering from an ankle injury during his first week at Carrington.

The midfielder's eagerness to be part of Manchester United's project played a crucial role in the transfer process. Other players, such as Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha, turned down more lucrative offers to join United, demonstrating a similar commitment to the club's ambitions.

Baleba's recovery from injury is progressing, and he is expected to be fit by mid-September. While he missed the preseason friendlies with Brighton, there is hope that he could make his debut against Fulham on September 20. However, given the current strength of United's midfield, it may be more prudent to debut him after the international break in the match against Tottenham on October 10.

As Manchester United prepares for their upcoming fixtures, including a match against Everton on September 6, fans are eager to see how Baleba will fit into the team and contribute to their campaign.
