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.

Malcom has proven to be a revelation for Bordeaux in Ligue 1 thus far having bagged seven goals and four assists in 18 appearances.
The 20-year-old’s stellar performances have already alerted the likes of Dortmund and Tottenham who are keen on adding the Brazilian wonderkid to their ranks.

Malcom arrived at Bordeaux from Brazilian outfit Corinthians in 2016 for £4m and has since taken massive strides towards becoming a highly-rated youngster in Europe.
