Brighton boss Fabian Huerzler says he's confident Carlos Baleba will stay despite £100m Manchester United interest. The manager also confirmed that he is in contention to start in their opening fixture against Fulham.

Manchester United are reportedly willing to wait until next summer to sign Carlos Baleba, with a deal for the Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder 'unlikely' before the end of the current market. Baleba, 21, is Man United's leading target at this stage of proceedings, with the club working to sign a central midfielder before the September deadline.
