Manchester United Seal Sensational Camavinga Signing After Failed Pursuit of Baleba
In a dramatic twist that has stunned the football world, Manchester United have officially completed the sensational signing of French midfield prodigy Eduardo Camavinga from Real Madrid. The announcement came just days after United failed in their pursuit of Brighton’s Carlos Baleba, a move many fans considered underwhelming compared to the club’s ambitions.
According to reports, Rúben Amorim personally intervened to secure the deal, convincing Camavinga that Old Trafford is the perfect stage for his next chapter. The United boss is said to have spoken directly with the French international, outlining his vision for the midfield and promising him a starring role that he would not consistently enjoy in Madrid.
Fee Agreed and Shirt Number Revealed
The deal is believed to be worth £85 million including add-ons, making Camavinga one of United’s most expensive signings in recent years. In addition, the 21-year-old will wear the iconic No. 6 shirt, previously worn by legends like Paul Pogba and Rio Ferdinand — a statement that underlines the faith Amorim has in his new signing.
A True Upgrade in Midfield
The reaction among United fans has been electric. Many see Camavinga as a massive upgrade on the club’s current midfield options, with his blend of technical ability, defensive grit, and attacking versatility. Unlike Baleba, who is still viewed as a raw talent, Camavinga arrives at Old Trafford as a proven world-class operator with Champions League medals and international pedigree.
“Amorim has just changed the entire dynamic of this team,” one fan wrote on social media. “Camavinga brings balance, energy, and that winning mentality we’ve been crying out for since Carrick retired.”
What Camavinga Brings
The Frenchman’s signing is being hailed as a game-changer for United. Known for his calmness under pressure, quick transitions, and ability to dictate the tempo, he is exactly the type of midfielder the Red Devils have lacked for years. His versatility also allows him to play as a deep-lying pivot, a box-to-box engine, or even a left-sided midfielder when needed.
Jubilation at Old Trafford
Celebrations broke out among fans outside Old Trafford after the news broke. For many, this is the first sign that the new Amorim era is truly underway, with the Portuguese coach making a statement of intent by landing a player of Camavinga’s caliber.
With Camavinga’s arrival, United’s midfield now boasts a spine capable of challenging the very best in Europe. For supporters who have endured years of underwhelming transfer windows, this feels like the dawn of something special.
