Henrikh Mkhitaryan: This is how you pronounce my name
Jose Mourinho splashed out £26million to bring Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
But Mkhitaryan has failed to hit the heights at Old Trafford, making just six appearances for United so far.
Mkhitaryan will start for Manchester United against Feyenoord in the Europa League on Thursday (8.05pm) after failing to make the squad for the 1-1 draw with Arsenal.

“But he is transforming his frustration in a good way which is to close the mouth and work hard and try to adapt."
Mkhitaryan’s last appearance for United came during their 2-1 Europa League defeat at Fenerbahce earlier this month.

"He needs less pressure and better conditions for him to express his qualities.”
