4. Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is starting to fit into the Manchester United squad at just the right time. He recently scored his first goal for the club in the Europa League and has been a big impact in their recent games. His awareness to create and get into space opens up many opportunities for his teammates. Combining with the likes of Ibrahimovic and Pogba, United could easily have one of the most potent attacks in the world.

Mkhitaryan is a versatile midfielder, able to play through the middle or out wide. He is one of the most sound players on and off the ball, creating and scoring goals constantly in his time in Germany. His quality was never a real concern to United fans, as they know he is a world-class player. It was simply a matter of how long it would take him to adjust to the change.

At his peak, Mkhitaryan can be one of the elite players in the world. His ability as a midfielder is second to none, and he is quickly proving why he was bought from Dortmund in the summer. His growing confidence is evident in the team every time he plays. He will be a big factor come Sunday, proving the back line of Spurs yet another challenging man to mark.
