Premier League 2017/18 - 5 Talking Points from Gameweek 11 

#3 Henrikh Mkhitaryan epitomises United's current shortcomings

Henrikh Mkhitaryan endured a difficult evening at Stamford Bridge

It seems like ages since Henrikh Mkhitaryan last had a decent game for Manchester United. Starting the season in buoyant mood, the ambidextrous Armenian created chances for fun, and led the assists charts, with United fans lauding him as a better playmaker than Phillipe Coutinho.

However, since the first four weeks, it seems Mkhitaryan's intensity and approach to games has changed. Jose Mourinho's side is not set up to suit the former Borussia Dortmund's style of play, making him a passenger on the pitch for the Red Devils.

On Sunday, against a Chelsea side that was low on confidence after a humiliating midweek defeat at the hands of AS Roma, it was the perfect opportunity for United to capitalise, and win their first game at Stamford Bridge since 2012.

However, that wasn't the case as the visitors were second best in every part of the pitch, and Mkhitaryan failed to have any impact on the game. He started the game in behind Marcus Rashford and Romelu Lukaku, but struggled to create anything for them. His passing was off the mark and he got bullied by the likes of N'Golo Kante and Andreas Christensen time and again.

With Paul Pogba set to return after the international break and Marouane Fellaini back to full fitness, it is unlikely that Mkhitaryan will be as much a part of Mourinho's first-team plans as he has been so far.
