Manchester United's rebuilding efforts are in full swing, spearheaded by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's attempts to overhaul the club's operations. However, the January transfer window has been quiet for the Red Devils, with no new arrivals on the field yet.
Manager Erik ten Hag is particularly focused on bolstering the attacking department due to struggles in scoring. Reports from Spain suggest that United is competing with Arsenal and Manchester City for the signature of Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma.
The Japanese's estimated value makes a move unlikely this month due to financial restrictions. While Marcus Rashford has faced criticism for his recent form and off-field activities, consistency remains a challenge for United this season.
Mitoma's statistics highlight his potential impact, offering dribbling skills and attacking threat that could significantly benefit the team, potentially affecting Rashford's role in the squad.
Despite not scoring many goals, Mitoma's ability to dribble directly into the box frequently creates opportunities for him to either assist a teammate or elegantly place the ball into the corner, prompting former teammate Christian Burgess to liken his finishing ability to that of Thierry Henry.
