The possibility of Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton) transfer to Manchester United has been raised.

Team Talk reported on the 24th (Korea time) that Mitoma, Khvicha Kvaratshelia (Napoli), and Nico Williams (Atlantic Bilbao) were nominated as potential replacements for Marcus Rashford.

Mitoma is a good option for Manchester United. He is playing well in Brighton as a winger resource representing Japan. Fast speed, ball guard and dribbling ability are considered advantages.

Mitoma played in 33 Premier League games in the 2022-2023 season, scoring seven goals and five assists. Brighton succeeded in advancing to the UEFA Europa League (UEL) for the first time. Last season, he scored three goals and four assists in 19 league games. Even considering the limited opportunity to play due to injury, this is a comprehensive performance.

He has three goals and two assists in 17 games this season. Bringing creativity to Brighton's offense, he put his team in 10th place in the league table.

Manchester United is also an attractive option for Mitoma in that it is an Asian-friendly club. In the past, Asian players such as Korea's Park Ji-sung and Japan's Kagawa Shinji made an impression by playing for Manchester United.

Among the three players mentioned above, Mito is more likely to be recruited by Manchester United. In the case of Hbicha, the ransom has risen to the point of rising, so the burden is inevitably burdensome to recruit. He is a player who can only be brought in if he pays more than 10 million euros (about 162 billion won).

In the case of Williams, Bayern Munich and Barcelona are coveted. Manchester United, which is 12th in the league and has less power than Brighton, is not a player that can be recruited.

Initially, Son Heung-min (Tottenham) was mentioned as a substitute for Marcus Rashford. It was about Son Heung-min coming to Manchester United and Rashford going to Tottenham.

Earlier, Give Me Sports said, `Son Heung-min could leave Tottenham within two years. Tottenham are looking for Son's replacement"I'm watching Marcus Rashford of Manchester United," he said.

"If Marcus Rashford decides to stay in the English Premier League (EPL), Tottenham can be one of them."`"Tottenham captain Son Heung-min is out of contract in the summer and is looking for a replacement," he reported.

Manchester United have recently considered selling Rashford. This is because life outside the stadium is reducing the concentration as a soccer player.

As Mitoma, a relatively young player, is being mentioned as a candidate, Son Heung-min's 'swap deal theory' seems to be losing power. Tottenham is also not making a calculation to send Son Heung-min as a free agent, so the trend is expected to be virtually difficult. Invoking the option to extend the one-year contract with Tottenham is the most dominant.

European soccer transfer market expert Romano wrote in a recent newsletter from Give Me Sports that `Tottenham invokes a one-year option on Son's contract and is expected to remain with the club until 2026"They're waiting for the formal process to get the deal done."
