#2 Henrikh Mkhitaryan
At the start of this season, the Armenian skipper was widely tipped to build on an impressive finish to his debut season last time around and play an important role for Jose Mourinho. Those predictions are already coming true as Mkhitaryan is enjoying his new role as a number 10 for the Red Devils.

He has been the creative force behind Manchester United's resurgence this season as he has carved out 14 chances including 5 assists which are 50% of the goals scored by the team. One particular moment where we witnessed Mkhitaryan's magic was his pass to Paul Pogba against Swansea City. He dribbled from near the halfway line and executed a deft pass into the box for Pogba to chip it into the net coolly.
In fact, Mkhitaryan has matched a 23-year-old Premier League record by assisting five times in the opening three games (Ruel Fox had achieved a similar feat for Newcastle United in the 1994/95 season). Also boasting a passing accuracy of nearly 90%, Mkhitaryan is surely the favourite to win the Premier League Player of the Month Award for August.
