Mkhitaryan is a good player with impressive technical ability. However, you do have to wonder about the scouting because currently, the difference between Mkhitaryan and Lingard is nowhere near big enough to justify spending £35m. We do not need another lightweight wide player who likes to come inside, who loses the ball a lot under any sort of physical pressure. Then we've got Mata, who although a different type of player, shares some of the same characteristics.
There was one moment tonight when Lingard was wandering across the pitch with the ball and Mkhitaryan came towards him and almost managed to get in his way.
