Sportsmail has counted down down the best 100 players in world football, placing Henrikh Mkhitaryan - the Armenia international who plays as an attacking midfielder for Manchester United and captains the Armenia national team - on the the 73rd spot.

"Mkhitaryan had spent three seasons at Borussia Dortmund just getting better and better and better. And the problem when that happens is that someone was always going to come along and pay big money to buy him," the Daily Mail says.

"That someone was United and Jose Mourinho will just be praying the Armenian comes somewhere close to last season's scarcely credible return of 23 goals and 32 assists."
