In the first few months, Manchester United’s only signing to not have made a notable contribution was Henrikh Mkhitaryan. But that was until December. Upon his return to the squad this month Mkhitaryan has been impressive in all his outings scoring two fantastic goals as well. His goal against Sunderland is surely a contender for goal of the season.
With the midfield settling in very well for Manchester United and Ibrahimovic firing, Mkhitaryan could be that additional X-factor that Champion teams need.

#6 Yaya Toure back to his best under Pep Guardiola
