Manchester United and Manchester City both are rumoured to be planning to sign Brighton winger Mitoma in January. I would like to see Manchester United signing him instead because they would make use of a productive player like him more now. They are in a really desperate condition now.
Their defense is in terrible shape you know. At least they can make up for that a little more by scoring more goals. Mitoma is one of the a few members who can really make a big contribution in this way in the Premier League right now.
Both Manchester United and City need wingers, and Mitoma will be fit in both clubs, just that the player will be the one to decide which club he will prefer to join in the January transfer window, that is, if Brighton will be willing to let him leave in the transfer window.
Manchester United will be lucky if they are able to sign him because they are in need of a winger to pair Rashford on the other side. This is because we don't know when Anthony's case will be resolved, and Jordan Sancho has been restricted from first team training and play due to some personal misunderstanding between him and Ten Hag. Therefore, if they can get Mitoma to pair with Rashford, Hojlund will score more goals than expected before the end of the season.
On the other hand, if Manchester City could sign him, he would be a perfect replacement for Riyad Mahrez, and their chances of winning the league would increase.
