#5 Mkhitaryan may finally kick start his United career
Trending
There was intense media pressure on Jose to start Mkhitaryan in the game against Arsenal, but the United manager did not do so, saying “he would struggle” against the Gunners. As such, there was a lot of fanfare on social media when the team lists were released and it was noted that the Armenian would start for just the second time in his United career.
While he did impress overall, however, there is plenty more left to be desired of him. While his first touch, his involvement in almost every attack and his passing would fetch him top marks, his laziness and inability to close down defenders is something that definitely irks you as a fan.
He seems lively and comfortable on the ball, and his efforts were certainly laudable, but he has a long way to go. Mourinho believes in the former Borussia Dortmund player, but will want to see more effort from him without the ball.
