Mkhitaryan joins Man United as Mourinho continues rebuilding
The arrival of such an exciting attacking talent along with fellow new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic has created a feel-good factor at United not seen since Alex Ferguson was in his pomp.
Manchester United superstar Henrikh Mkhitaryan believes he can win the premier league title in his first season at Old Trafford under the best coach in the world Jose Mourinho.
Real Madrid are also believed to be keen to sign Pogba, but United are said to be offering the most lucrative wages and transfer fee package, which gives them a chance to snap up one of the most wanted players in Europe. “He has got everything”.
When asked whether the club will play better football than last season under him, Mourinho told MUTV: “I hope so”.
There was a point where it seemed inevitable that David De Gea would move back to his homeland to join La Liga giants Real Madrid but Mourinho’s arrival has ended any speculation over his future and it looks nearly certain that the Spanish global will continue to be United’s No.1.
Mkhitaryan has a year remaining on his contract with Dortmund, but has made a decision to play in the Premier League rather than sign a new contract.
The 27-year-old was one of Dortmund’s star performers last season, scoring 23 goals and registering 32 assists in all competitions, earning him the Bundesliga Player of the Season award.
Maybe he is not a striker, not a number nine any more but for me he will never be a number six, playing 50 metres from the goal.
Until we have the fourth, we are still working hard.
New Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho’s backroom staff have been confirmed.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan said: “I am very proud to join Manchester United, this move is a dream come true for me. Man United is a Champions League club and we have to make sure that in July 2017, instead of waiting for the Europa League, we are ready for the group draw of the Champions League”.
