Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba to make Manchester United debut against Fulham

Cameroon international Carlos Baleba is set to make his long-awaited Manchester United debut against Fulham in the Premier League on September 20.

The 22-year-old midfielder has been unable to feature for the Red Devils since joining the club due to an ankle ligament injury, but his recovery is progressing well.

According to Sky Sports, Baleba is expected to return to full training by mid-September, putting him in contention to make his first appearance for United when they travel to face Fulham in their fifth league game of the season.

Baleba’s return will be a welcome boost for manager Ruben Amorim, who will be hoping the midfielder can add energy, physicality and balance to his midfield.

Manchester United view Baleba as a key long-term investment and have handed him a contract running until the summer of 2031, underlining their confidence in his potential.

The former Brighton midfielder will now be focused on completing his rehabilitation and regaining full match fitness ahead of what could be his first competitive appearance in the famous red shirt.

If his recovery continues according to plan, all eyes will be on Baleba when Manchester United face Fulham on September 20, with the Cameroon star ready to begin his new chapter at Old Trafford.
