Kaoru Mitoma is in the spotlight as a Marcus Rashford replacement.
England's "Team Talk" highlighted the Rashford situation on the 24th (Korea time) and pointed out the players Manchester United will seek as substitutes. Mitoma was mentioned along with Napoli's Hvicha Kbaratshelia and Athletic Bilbao's Nico Williams.
First of all, if you look at the situation of Rashford, it is actually the step of breaking up. Rashford, who was a representative star of Manchester United, began his career in the 2019-20 season with 17 goals and 7 assists in 31 games. He succeeded in 11 goals and 9 assists in 37 games in the 2020-21 season, 17 goals and 5 assists in 35 games in the 2022-23 season, and his attack points plummeted with 7 goals and 2 assists in 33 games in the 2023-24 season.
The performance was also low, and there was no presence anywhere on the left, center or right. After Erik ten Hach was replaced, the list was excluded after Juven Amorim was appointed. After being excluded from the list in a row, rumors of a transfer were raised.
"Personally, I think I'm ready to take on a new challenge and move on to the next level. When I leave, I will leave without any ill will. You won't hear any negative things about Manchester United from me. That's who I am," Rashford said, hinting at a transfer.
The Sun said, "Old Trafford insiders are concerned that the situation has reached a point where it can no longer hold up. The only solution may be to keep him out for a while. Not only can a loan move help cool things down, but it can also give Rashford a chance to prove himself." Currently, only Saudi Arabian clubs are interested, but Rashford and Manchester United will also try to make the move.
Mitoma became the target. Mitoma left Kawasaki Frontale as a special Japanese winger and joined Brighton. He immediately went on a loan to Royal Winion and settled in. He was used as a Joker when manager Graham Potter was in charge, leaving an impression with tremendous speed and destructive power on the side. After Potter's departure, Roberto de Zerby took over, Mitoma continued to play.
Mitoma led his team to advance to the 먹튀검증 UEFA Europa League for the first time by appearing in 33 Premier League matches and scoring seven goals and five assists in the 2022-23 season. He showed somewhat sluggish performance last season. He only scored three goals and four assists in 19 matches in the league, and had no goals at the UEL. Due to overlapping injuries, he failed to display strong competitiveness.
He has had three goals and two assists in 17 games this season, which started under Fabian Wheeler. He has improved compared to the last season and has suffered fewer injuries, making him a key striker in Brighton.
If he moves to Manchester United, he will follow Shinji Kagawa. After Park Ji-sung, Kagawa announced the birth of another Asian star at Manchester United, but he returned to Dortmund after failing to show his performance at Dortmund at all. If Mitoma is recruited, expectations will be high. Expectations will be high as they match Manchester United's needs to conduct Asian marketing and will certainly add destructive power to the side.
You would hope not to follow Kagawa's footsteps. Hvicha and Williams are attractive, but Mitoma, which does not need to adapt to the Premier League, is also an ideal target for Manchester United. If Rashford actually goes out, the move to recruit Mitoma is expected to be spotted.
