Stam Backs Baleba to Succeed Casemiro at Manchester United

Jaap Stam believes Carlos Baleba has the qualities to become Manchester United’s long-term replacement for Casemiro in midfield. The 22-year-old joined United from Brighton in a reported £70 million summer move, but an injury-disrupted pre-season delayed his integration. He made his debut as a substitute in the 1-1 Premier League draw with Tottenham. Stam said Baleba has the energy, physicality and composure on the ball needed to cover the pitch and excel in the defensive midfield role. The Cameroonian will hope to build on his first appearance as United continue their domestic and European campaigns.
