Manchester United will face Brighton & Hove Albion at Old Trafford in the Premier League tomorrow.
They have received a major boost ahead of their game.
Brighton star winger Kaoru Mitoma is a major doubt for the clash due to an ankle injury that forced him to miss the last two matches.
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler admitted that Mitoma is a “game changer” but will look for solutions if he is not available.
Mitoma has a superb record against the Red Devils, netting one goal and bagging two assists in four Premier League games.
He was electric the last time these two sides met at Old Trafford, tearing apart the left flank with his pace and movement.
He tormented Noussair Mazraoui, who recently admitted that he made two awful mistakes against the Japanese.
The £30 million-rated star possesses blistering acceleration and a fantastic ability to make runs in behind defenders.
He excels at exploiting spaces between the wing-back and centre-back, creating chaos in defensive lines.
His absence would be a massive blow for Brighton, stripping them of their most direct and unpredictable attacker.
However, the Seagulls cannot be easily written off.
They have won the last three games at the Theatre of Dreams.
United will also have to make late calls on Harry Maguire and Mason Mount.
The duo are facing a race against time after picking up knocks as revealed earlier today.
United have won back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under manager Ruben Amorim.
They will be desperate to maintain momentum and strengthen their push for a top-four finish.
