Henrikh Mkhitaryan says Jose Mourinho was right to criticise his Manchester United side for indulging in “Playstation football”.

Mourinho aimed the jibe at his players after their 3-0 win over Basel in their opening group game, accusing them of losing their focus and trying too many tricks.

Mkhitaryan said: “Everyone knows Jose Mourinho is very demanding and what he said is right.

“He didn't exactly say names, but everyone thinks he did some something bad or made some mistakes.

"We're trying to improve that aspect and be more focused during the whole game and not to start playing some fantasy football as he said or Playstation football in the last 20 or 25 minutes."

Mkhitaryan added: “I watch a lot of CSKA games in the Russian league and they have a lot of experience in their team.

“But Champions League games are very different to Russian league games and we expect them to play differently against us.”
