Man United tipped to sign £40m electric and sensational Brighton superstar as major Jadon Sancho replacement

and told he is already far better than two of Ten Hag’s wingers

BRIGHTON winger Kaoru Mitoma would be a perfect fit for Manchester United, according to former player Garth Crooks.

The Japan international has been in fine form since last season – but the same cannot be said for the wide players at United.

A host of big teams are being linked with getting a hold of Mitoma’s signature in the coming future.

And according to BBC Sport, Garth Crooks – who spent some time on loan at United during his playing career- feels Mitoma is the perfect player for the Red Devils.

Crooks declared: “Manchester United have Jadon Sancho and Antony in their ranks.

“And I haven’t seen anything like the quality or ability from either of those two players that I have seen from this lad.

“I accept that Old Trafford is a daunting stage and the stakes are much higher there, but Mitoma is a United player if ever I saw one.”

Brighton – who are credited for their excellent scouting system – signed the winger in 2021 from Kawasaki Frontale.

And after a season on loan in Belgium, the 26-year-old became one of the breakout stars in the Premier League in the 2022/23 term.

He scored 10 goals and provided eight assists in 41 appearances across all competitions for the Seagulls
