It would be fair to say that it took Henrikh Mkhitaryan time to settle at Manchester United last season, but the Armenian showed glimpses of his special talent in the second half of the campaign.
The 28-year-old proved key in Man United’s Europa League success, meanwhile, as he scored six times in 11 appearances, including against Ajax in the final of the European competition.
Just four goals and one assist in 24 Premier League appearances suggest that the attacker has some improving to do next season, but the signs are certainly positive entering the 2017-18 campaign.
Mkhitaryan’s magic feet and ability to make things happen have quickly seen him become a popular figure with the Man United supporters, and they were out in force on Twitter to respond to a post from the Armenian international this week.
The former Borussia Dortmund playmaker is currently enjoying the final moments of his time off, before returning to Man United later this week ahead of the club’s pre-season tour of the United States.
