Saha Recommends Mitoma For Man Utd
Former France and Manchester United striker Louis Saha has recommended Brighton and Hove Albion winger Kaoru Mitoma as an ideal candidate to boost the Old Trafford club's forward options.
Mitoma has carried his scintillating 2022/2023 form for the Seagulls into the new campaign.
The 26-year-old Japanese forward has recorded three goals and as many assists in eight Premier League games this term.
One of his goals, a solo effort against Wolverhampton Wanderers, won goal of the month in August.
United's frontline have failed to click this season, with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial not in form, while Antony and Jadon Sancho have battled off-field distractions.
Former United striker Saha, who also played for Everton, Tottenham Hotspurs and Fulham, has told King Casino Bonus of moves he would be making in upcoming recruitment markets: “I would like to see Mitoma arrive at Old Trafford. He's a very exciting player and he never seems to have any doubt of the ball. He'll bombard defences with offensive moves all the time, and I love his energy and the way he plays with a smile. Mitoma is great to watch, and his attitude would be perfect for any club. Some players think too much, but Mitoma relies on instinct. You can tell he's worked very hard on the training ground to achieve this, and now he's got to a point where he looks like a natural.
“Managers know exactly what they're going to get from Mitoma, and he'd be a strong asset to any club. He'd be very exciting at Manchester United as they tend to have wide players who overthink. They play as if every defender is quicker than them, and that's why they don't often dribble or cross as much as they should. They're too worried that they won't get past defenders! They need to be more direct, and the only United forward who possesses that directness is Rasmus Hojlund. The other players are thinking too much.”
Manchester United have recorded four wins and four losses in the Premier League this season while their Champions League campaign has got off to the worst possible start with two defeats in as many games.
