Carlos Baleba has made 112 appearances for Brighton since joining the club from Lille for £23.2m in August 2023 Manchester United's midfield reconstruction is nearing completion.
自 2023 年 8 月以 2320 万英镑从里尔加盟布莱顿以来，卡洛斯·巴莱巴已为布莱顿出场 112 次 曼联的中场重建已接近完成。
After signing Andrey Santos from Chelsea and Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa in the space of 24 hours of each other last month, there has been an element of 'will-they, won't-they' about the past five weeks.
上个月在 24 小时内从切尔西签下安德烈·桑托斯（Andrey Santos）和从阿斯顿维拉签下尤里·蒂勒曼斯（Youri Tielemans）后，过去五周一直存在“他们会不会”的元素。
At times, it felt the 'third midfielder' search has taken on a life of its own.
有时，它感觉“第三中场”的寻找已经有了自己的生命。
Real Madrid's Aurelien Tchouameni was heavily touted, so too Bournemouth's Alex Scott and Roma's Manu Kone.
皇家马德里队的奥雷利安·楚阿梅尼受到了大力吹捧，伯恩茅斯队的亚历克斯·斯科特和罗马队的马努·科内也是如此。
In more recent days, the name of Fulham's Sander Berge has become more prominent. That of Bournemouth's Tyler Adams has never gone away. United privately played down potential interest in Brighton's Carlos Baleba.
最近几天，富勒姆的桑德伯格的名字变得更加突出。 伯恩茅斯的泰勒·亚当斯的足迹从未消失。 曼联私下淡化了对布莱顿球员卡洛斯·巴莱巴的潜在兴趣。
But in a sense, they didn't need to be actively interested in him.
但从某种意义上来说，他们并不需要主动对他产生兴趣。
Most of the work was done 12 months ago. Now the first offer has gone in; £60m, plus an additional £5m.
大部分工作已于 12 个月前完成。 现在第一个报价已经进入； 6000 万英镑，另加 500 万英镑。
It won't be enough. Talks are continuing though and the expectation is the transfer will get done.
这还不够。 不过，谈判仍在继续，预计转让将会完成。
New signings Andrey Santos (right) and Youri Tielemans (second right) started alongside each other in midfield for Manchester United against AC Milan in Wroclaw It is impossible to assess the merits of the actual transfers until the individuals concerned have played often enough to evaluate how well they have done.
新援安德烈·桑托斯（右）和尤里·蒂勒曼斯（右二）在曼联在弗罗茨瓦夫对阵AC米兰的比赛中并肩首发中场 在相关个人经常参加比赛以评估他们的表现之前，不可能评估实际转会的优点。
However, it is fair to accept United's data and recruitment department have succeeded in reshaping Michael Carrick's midfield.
不过，可以公平地接受曼联的数据和引援部门已经成功重塑了卡里克的中场。
It was known in January veteran Brazilian Casemiro would leave when his contract expired on 30 June.
一月份就知道巴西老将卡塞米罗将在6月30日合同到期后离开。
Ruben Amorim's exit had already seen skipper Bruno Fernandes move into a more advanced role.
鲁本·阿莫林的退出已经让队长布鲁诺·费尔南德斯进入了更靠前的位置。
With Manuel Ugarte not rated highly despite his £50.8m price tag, it meant United went into the summer with Kobbie Mainoo as the only experienced midfielder likely to play a prominent part in the 2026-27 season. Mainoo's strength is taking the ball in tight spaces and progressing it up the pitch.
尽管曼努埃尔·乌加特的身价为 5080 万英镑，但他的评价并不高，这意味着曼联进入夏季时科比·迈努将成为唯一一位有可能在 2026-27 赛季发挥重要作用的经验丰富的中场球员。 Mainoo 的强项是在狭小的空间内接球并将其推进到球场上。
Santos has screened the defence excellently in pre-season.
桑托斯在季前赛中对防守的筛选非常出色。
Tielemans has composure, an excellent passing range, and is determined to increase his goals output. What the defeat by AC Milan in Wroclaw at the weekend highlighted was a lack of energy; a player in the old box-to-box mould. Baleba's main strength is his ability to cover the ground quickly.
蒂勒曼斯沉着冷静，传球范围出色，并且决心提高自己的进球数。 周末在弗罗茨瓦夫输给AC米兰的比赛凸显出球队缺乏活力。一个采用旧的B2B模式的球员。 巴莱巴的主要优势是他能够快速覆盖地面。
If the deal goes through, and when Baleba has recovered from an ankle injury sustained in pre-season that is expected to keep him out for another couple of weeks, Carrick will have variety and options, which also include Mason Mount, Scotland World Cup squad member Tyler Fletcher and, in extremis, Fernandes. Manchester United spent the summer of 2022 trying to sign Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong but eventually gave up The Baleba situation also highlights a strategic change.
如果交易成功，当巴莱巴从季前赛中脚踝受伤的情况中恢复过来（预计他将缺席几周）时，卡里克将有多种选择，其中还包括梅森·芒特、苏格兰世界杯队员泰勒·弗莱彻，以及在危急时刻的费尔南德斯。 曼联在 2022 年夏天试图签下巴塞罗那的弗兰基·德容，但最终放弃了 巴莱巴的情况也凸显出战略的转变。
In the past, United have almost trailed the players they want to sign, then spent ages trying to complete a deal – or not.
过去，曼联几乎落后于他们想要签下的球员，然后花了很长时间试图完成一笔交易——或者不完成。
Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong was a case in point in 2022.
巴塞罗那的弗兰基·德容（Frenkie de Jong）就是 2022 年的一个典型例子。
Erik ten Hag felt certain he could do the deal even though United's recruitment staff were being told it was impossible.
埃里克·十·哈格确信他可以完成这笔交易，尽管曼联的招聘人员被告知这是不可能的。
It was well into August before the club admitted defeat; with defeats by Brighton and Brentford triggering the £70m deal for Casemiro.
直到八月，俱乐部才承认失败。布莱顿和布伦特福德的失利触发了卡塞米罗 7000 万英镑的交易。
This summer, there has been stealth behind their work. It suited them for talk around England's Elliot Anderson to obscure what they were thinking around initial midfield targets as they knew the Nottingham Forest man would be financially beyond their reach.
今年夏天，他们的工作背后隐藏着秘密。 这适合他们围绕英格兰球员埃利奥特·安德森进行讨论，以掩盖他们对最初中场目标的想法，因为他们知道诺丁汉森林队的球员在经济上超出了他们的能力范围。
The Santos deal was wrapped up within a week.
桑托斯的交易在一周内就完成了。
The Tielemans one was less than that. There has been consideration given to Mount being the 'third midfielder' because of his exceptional form in the early part of pre-season.
蒂勒曼斯的则比这个要少。 由于芒特在季前赛初期的出色表现，人们将他视为“第三中场”。
However, although his early exit in the encounter with Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg on 8 August was described as 'precautionary', Mount has still to return from the foot injury, which would only have heightened concerns around his injury record. Baleba was supposedly off the radar as a third midfielder.
然而，尽管他在8月8日哥德堡与巴黎圣日耳曼队的比赛中提前退场被描述为“预防性的”，但芒特仍需从脚伤中恢复，这只会加剧人们对他受伤记录的担忧。 据说巴莱巴作为第三中场球员没有受到关注。
Tchouameni, Scott, Kone, Berge and Adams were the ones being monitored.
楚阿梅尼、斯科特、科恩、贝尔格和亚当斯是受到监视的人。
Now United have made their move, it would be a surprise if the transfer was not concluded swiftly.
现在曼联已经采取了行动，如果转会不能迅速完成，那将是一个意外。
Evidently, Old Trafford's recruitment plans are now being controlled to a far tighter degree than was previously the case. Of the four players they signed in 2025, striker Benjamin Sesko and goalkeeper Senne Lammens were the only two who were not bought from Premier League clubs. The ease with which Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha settled into their new surroundings must have played a part in shaping thinking at Old Trafford this summer.
显然，老特拉福德的引援计划现在受到的控制比以前严格得多。 在他们2025年签下的四名球员中，前锋本杰明·塞斯科和门将塞内·拉门斯是仅有的两名不是从英超俱乐部购买的球员。 布莱恩·姆博莫和马修斯·库尼亚轻松融入新环境，一定在今年夏天老特拉福德的思维塑造中发挥了一定作用。
Cunha and Tielemans had release clauses.
库尼亚和蒂勒曼斯有解除条款。
Mbeumo and Santos did not, neither does Baleba.
姆博莫和桑托斯没有，巴莱巴也没有。
There is an argument buying from Premier League clubs costs more because they are all relatively rich.
有人认为，从英超俱乐部购买球衣的成本更高，因为它们都相对富裕。
The premium, in theory, limits the risk of players failing to settle. It seems Manchester United feel the extra is worth paying.
从理论上讲，溢价限制了玩家未能结算的风险。 曼联似乎觉得额外付出的代价是值得的。
"We want more, we need more," Carrick stressed last week. Baleba cannot be the end. It is accepted the need for a new left-back is acute.
“我们想要更多，我们需要更多，”卡里克上周强调。 巴莱巴不可能是终点。 人们普遍认为迫切需要一名新的左后卫。
No-one knows who it will be at this stage.
现阶段没有人知道会是谁。
But it is fair to assume there will be one. How Carrick's Man Utd are shaping up for Premier League season Man Utd will reject any bid for Fernandes Man Utd close on deal for Brighton's Baleba
但可以公平地假设会有一个。 卡里克的曼联在英超赛季的表现如何 曼联将拒绝对费尔南德斯的任何报价 曼联接近签下布莱顿球员巴莱巴
