The Fulham talisman has been in prolific form this season, scoring 11 goals in 15 Premier League games. He scored a record-breaking 43 goals in 44 games in the Championship last season, helping the Cottagers earn promotion to the top flight.
Bent believes it’s time for Mitrovic to move to a bigger club like Chelsea or Manchester United, telling talkSPORT:
He added:
Bent reckons Mitrovic might not be a good fit at Manchester United, as Erik ten Hag’s playing style might not be compatible with the Serbian striker’s. He said:

Bent said that Mitrovic would be a good fit for a club like Chelsea, who have excellent full-backs in Ben Chilwell and Reece James. He said:
Both Chelsea and Manchester United need a striker
Chelsea signed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Barcelona last summer, but he has scored just thrice in 16 appearances across competitions this season. Meanwhile, Armando Broja is out of action till the end of the season due to an ACL injury.
The Blues have struggled to score goals, and much of that can be attributed to the lack of a proper No. 9. Hence, Mitrovic could be an excellent arrival.
Manchester United, meanwhile, have Anthony Martial, but the Frenchman has been injury-prone. Ten Hag has used Marcus Rashford as a striker, but the Englishman thrives better as a winger.
So, the Red Devils could also be on the lookout for a striker, but as Bent suggested, Mitrovic’s playing style might not suit the club.
