Manchester United target Baleba appeared inconsolable after being hooked 22 minutes into the Seagulls' 1-0 defeat at Villa Park on Wednesday. But it was a big impact from the referee to give that yellow card, therefore we had to make the substitution.' United made an enquiry over Baleba last summer before ending their interest after reportedly being quoted an asking price of up to £120million. Baleba's departure paved the way for Milner to join Barry on 653 Premier League appearances. The former Liverpool, Manchester City and Leeds midfielder is one away from breaking Barry's record, which has stood since 2018.
