Why is Mkhitaryan so magical in Europe?

When CSKA Moscow manager Viktor Goncharenko sat down to assess the Manchester United squad, the Belarusian boss could have highlighted any number of players to worry about.

Jose Mourinho has assembled a powerful, star-studded squad that poses a threat from many areas of the pitch. The most obvious dangerman is Romelu Lukaku, following his sensational start to the season in a red shirt, after scoring eight goals in as many games across all competitions.

Goncharenko might also have studied the startlingly good form of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, following their lightning-fast performances in the early stages of the campaign.
