Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam believes Baleba and Tonali would both be excellent signings for Manchester United, and the club must be willing to invest, as making the right transfer decisions is crucial.
In an interview, when asked which midfielders Manchester United should sign this summer, Stam said: "I really admire Carlos Baleba from Brighton & Hove Albion; he stands out to me."
Sandro Tonali from Newcastle United would also be a perfect fit for this midfield position. These two players are my top choices for Manchester United to sign.
With transfer fees skyrocketing today, signing them will be far from easy. But to achieve good results, transfer activity must align precisely with the team's tactical system and identify the players genuinely needed.
Everyone knows that the club must also be willing to invest, and making the right transfer decisions is crucial."
Former England midfielder Danny Murphy, in an exclusive interview with the Metro, believes Tonali and Nottingham Forest's Elliot Anderson are the most obvious midfield reinforcements for Manchester United.
He stated: "The two most suitable candidates are Elliot Anderson and Sandro Tonali. Both have abundant running power and tenacious tackling, making them typical Premier League midfielders who could strengthen Manchester United.
If I were Manchester United's director of football, I would do everything I could to sign one of them."
