Brighton’s interest comes at a time when uncertainty continues to surround the future of Carlos Baleba.
The Cameroon international has emerged as one of Brighton’s most valuable assets following another influential season under Fabian Hurzeler.
Baleba has attracted interest from several elite European clubs and speculation over a summer departure continues to intensify.
Former Manchester United defender Jaap Stam has now urged his old club to make a renewed move for the Brighton midfielder.
Speaking to ComeOn, Stam said:
“I like Carlos Baleba from Brighton, he still stands out to me.
“And I also really like Sandro Tonali from Newcastle in that role. These two stand out for me as players I’d like at Manchester United.”
Stam also acknowledged the financial challenge involved in landing players of that calibre but stressed the importance of smart recruitment.
“It’s not easy to bring in these players because nowadays the transfer fees are very high.
“But if you want to be successful, you need to be very good in your recruitment, looking at your system and who you need to bring in.
“You also need to spend, which everyone knows. It is very important to make the right decisions.”
