On his day, Henrikh Mkhitaryan can tear even the sturdiest of defences apart. His ability to pick a pass, weave through defenders and ultimately create goals makes him an exceptional footballer in every sense of the word.
However, he hasn’t had many good days at Manchester United as his highlights have been limited by the rigours of the Premier League and unknown problems.
Despite beginning the 2017/18 season in the form which prompted United to acquire him in the first place, the Armenia international has been deemed surplus to requirements and is likely to be sold during the January transfer window
On that note, we take a look at 5 possible replacements for him:
2Willian
A bit more direct but with a similar level of creativity, Willian could be a good replacement for Mkhitaryan.
Back in December, the Brazil international was linked with a move to Old Trafford, and whilst the speculations have died down a little there’s every chance that United could table a bid for him during the course of the transfer window.
He, ironically enjoyed his best individual season at Chelsea when Jose Mourinho nearly got them relegated, perhaps he could reproduce that form in the colours of red as the Portuguese tactician attempts to steer his side towards a respectable finish in the Premier League as well as the Champions League.
