United boss Ruben Amorim remains keen to strengthen his midfield, and has targeted former Chelsea star Gallagher, now with Atletico Madrid. Brighton star Carlos Baleba has been on United’s radar in the last 12 months, but Brighton have no interest in letting him go cheap. A price tag of around £110m has put off the English giants. United bosses are now looking at alternative options, and believe Gallagher would be an ideal addition to a midfield that will lose veteran Brazil international Casemiro next summer, when he is expected to…
