#2 Henrikh Mkhitaryan
After making a name for himself first in Ukraine with Shakhtar Donetsk (where he was named the Ukrainian footballer of the year), and in Germany with Borussia Dortmund (where he established himself as one of the best midfielders in the world and was a regular in number of chances and assists created), Manchester United paid Dortmund £30m for Mkhi’s services to make him the first Armenian to ever play in the Premier League.

It was a mismatch from the get-go, as, despite high expectations, Mhkitaryan struggled to light up Old Trafford, and fell out with Jose Mourinho over the Portuguese’ decision to constantly play him out of position.
Although he starred in United’s Europa League winning campaign, Mhki’s spell at Old Trafford was largely disappointing, and it came as no surprise when he departed the club in winter of 2017 in a straight swap with Alexis Sanchez of Arsenal after less than 18 months at United.
He ended his United career with just five goals in 39 Premier League appearances, which is a far cry from the form he expressed when terrorizing defences across Europe with Dortmund.
