Henrikh Mkhitaryan Makes Switch to Adidas Ace Purecontrol

Update #3: Following up our earlier reporting, Mkhitaryan made the switch from the Nike Mercurial Superfly to the Adidas Ace 17+ Purecontrol in the first Premier League game of the new season. One to keep an eye on in tomorrow's game at Swansea.

Update #2: A new picture of Manchester United's locker room made ahead of their pre-season friendly against Vålerenga pretty much confirms that Henrikh Mkhitaryan has no boot contract as he has both the Nike Mercurial Superfly V and Adidas Ace Purecontrol 17+ boots.

However, he was not spotted wearing the Adidas Ace Purecontrol football boots yet and wore the Nike Mercurial Superfly V boots in the friendly, but it nevertheless seems likely that he already gave Adidas' laceless boots a try in training.

Update: It looks like Henrikh Mkhitaryan has no boot contract currently as he laced up in the latest Nike Mercurial Superfly V boots in Manchester United's second pre-season training session. Say tuned as this story evolves.

While there is no report that confirms Mkhitaryan's switch to the Three Stripes, it is likely that his move to Adidas will be made official soon.
