Carlos Baleba was the subject of negotiations between Manchester United and Brighton in recent days, but yesterday they decided to end the talks.
It is now anticipated that the club would look for other options.
The Red Devils made him their top midfield target, so this will be a major setback.
There were multiple discussions with his agents, but since a deal did not come to pass, other measures will have to be taken.
These measures will involve looking for a replacement.
One name that has been linked to the Reds in recent days is Morten Hjulmand.
Hjulmand plays for Sporting CP and played under Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim too.
The Reds could turn to him after missing out on Baleba.
And now an update has been provided.

Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Manchester United has not yet decided on which midfielder to sign and the club is aware of Morten Hjulmand’s situation, who is open to joining them, but no discussions have taken place.
Sporting does not want to lose another important player.
Ruben Amorim and Morten Hjulmand have a history together; in 2023, Amorim brought Hjulmand to Sporting CP and appointed him as the captain.
Hjulmand is renowned for his leadership abilities and is familiar with Amorim’s 3-4-3 style.
He will be a great asset to the club, providing competition for players like Manuel Ugarte, Bruno Fernandes, and Kobbie Mainoo.
In light of Toby Collyer’s formal loan departure, a midfield player is required this summer.
The club have already completed the signings of Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo, and now Benjamin Sesko.
These three will play a huge part in what will be a challenging season.
Morten Hjumland could be the perfect midfielder option for Manchester United as they aim to find their Baleba alternative.
