Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has revealed that Manchester United's ace Henrikh Mkhitaryan, is a more dangerous creative player than Mesut Ozil, Juan Mata and David Silva. He said the Armenian's pace makes him a more dangerous No 10 than any other in the league currently.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has this unique drive when on the ball in the opposition half. This he displayed yet again on Sunday against the Foxes when he showed Leciester City defenders a clean pair of heels as he registered the opening goal in thier 3-0 victory over the reigning Champions.
Reaching the ball on the half-way line ahead of Foxes centre-back Robert Huth, Mkhitaryan burst away from Wes Morgan before beating Kasper Schmeichel in a one-on-one situation.
“He (Mkhitaryan) has got something that very few players in that position have, which is pace," Carragher told Sky Sports.
“You think of Juan Mata, Mesut Ozil, David Silva – great technicians – but they don’t have that pace.
“And I think that was vital in the first goal.”
Mkhitaryan was barely selected by United manager Jose Mourinho at the start of the season but has been a regular in the team since the end of November.
