MKHITARYAN (LEFT) MARTIAL AND BAILLY
HENRIKH MKHITARYAN is baffled by the way he has been treated
by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho, according to Armenian FA President
Ruben Hayrapetyan.
Mkhitaryan
has barely featured for United
since his £30million move from Borussia Dortmund in the summer
and was not even named on the bench for the
disappointing draw with Burnley.
He said: “I cannot know what the Manchester manager is
thinking about. I have talked with Mkhitaryan, he also doesn’t know what Jose
Mourinho is thinking.”
The attacking-midfielder, 27, has not turned out in a United
shirt since he was hauled off at half-time in the 2-1 derby-day defeat to
Manchester City at Old Trafford on September 10.
He then
picked up a thigh injury on international duty with Armenia last month.
Yet Mourinho insists he is over those problems and now “training with the team 100 per
cent.” However, he did express concerns as to his suitability for the Premier
League.
But
Hayrapetyan is convinced the 27-year-old has been doing all he can to impress
the manager.
He
added: “Mkhitaryan trains and is in good shape but no one knows the reason why
he is not playing.”
A
quick-fire move in the January transfer window could now be on
the cards,
with a host of German clubs reportedly ready to take him back to the
Bundesliga.
He was one of the top-performing midfielders in Germany last
season, hitting 11 goals in the league and topping the assist chart with 15.
