Honestly, there's no reason why Mikasa cannot end up with ANYBODY in the series.

She's strong, she's beautiful, and she's independent (except from Eren, and even then it's her taking care of Eren most of the time and not the other way round). She could end up with Jean since he likes her a lot, or she could end up with Levi, since they're domestic life would look pretty cute.

If Eren finally becomes independent of Mikasa, as Isayama mentioned, and no longer views her as his mother figure, then maybe they have a chance, although Eren would probably NOT be attracted to her, due to their long history together. They've been together all their lives: there's almost nothing Eren doesn't know about Mikasa that he gets to find out as her lover. Their relationship would be just comfortable, and even if Mikasa was happy with that contentment, something tells me Eren won't stand for it.

Also, we can't ignore the high possibility that Mikasa isn't straight, and thus can be paired with Annie, Sasha, Historia etc etc. But probably not Annie since she's either going to be dead, still stuck inside a diamond, or thrown into jail by the end of the manga.

All in all, she could end up with literally anyone. But Isayama, smart, beautiful Isayama, is probably (don't take my word for it though) going to go the 'Mikasa is a strong young woman with independent means' route, and not give her a canonical significant other. She's going to be with her friends, in life or in death, single, not needing a partner to make her feel complete like she has been doing with Eren. The moment Eren rejects her outright and becomes no longer her responsibility, she's free (but she'll probably be pretty upset about it).

So yeah, that's my theory. As long as Levi's shit as it is.
