Manchester United supporters were absolutely excited when the club signed a top playmaker in the form of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund in the summer transfer window.
However, things have been complex for the Armenian international since moving to the Premier League.
The former Shakhtar playmaker has been injured for quite some time. On the other hand, manager Jose Mourinho does not prefer him for reasons unknown.
Before last night’s game against Fenerbahce in the Europa league, Mkhitaryan had only made one start for the Red Devils. Other than that, he normally found himself out of the squad.
Therefore, it was a huge surprise when Henrikh was named in the squad to face the Turkish side. Moreover, some fans could not believe that Jose Mourinho finally opted to bring him on the field in the second half when United were 2-0 down.
Mkhitaryan only played for 30 odd minutes and could not do much to help United. Here are a few reactions from the United supporters when the Armenian replaced Rashford in the 60th minute.
@ManUtd No fucking way.
