I love watching players like Mkhitaryan, but where will he fit at Man Utd?

Football pundit Jamie Redknapp has placed Manchester United's summer arrival Henrikh Mkhitaryan at no 2 in his list of '10 Premier League players to watch next season'.

However, Redknapp is apprehensive that the 27-year-old will not feature in his preferred position of no 10 under Jose Mourinho but still has the ability to be a key performer for the Red Devils.

He writes in his feature for Daily Mail: “I just love to watch players like him.

“He takes chances with his passing and has the best through ball I've seen in a long time. He'll be the maestro who dictates play and the one who sets things up. Mkhitaryan made 14 assists for Dortmund last season, the most in the Bundesliga, so United's forwards will be licking their lips.

“My only worry is where he will fit in. He can be so devastating when deployed as a No 10 but he will have competition from Paul Pogba and Wayne Rooney and may have to play out wide."
