This is what Man United’s fearsome front three could look like come the end of January

Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Mourinho was criticised earlier in the season for his management of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but the forward’s recent run of form suggests that the Portuguese boss got it right.

The Armenian captain made just one Premier League start prior to West Ham game on November 30, and that lasted just 45 minutes against Manchester City, but has since then been a regular feature in the United side, making nine appearances in all competitions.

And, in that time, the 27-year-old has replicated the same sort of form we all saw at Borussia Dortmund in years gone by, netting three times and laying on three assists in those nine matches.

Mkhitaryan has regularly been one of United’s top performers in the last few months, and he’s likely to be a significant part of Mourinho’s frontline in the second half of the season.
