According to reliable reports, new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan is currently frustrated at not being played in his favourite role by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.
The attacking midfielder has often been deployed on the flanks but the Armenian is desperate to play as a No. 10. The former Borussia Dortmund man only made his full debut this weekend against rivals, Manchester city and was taken off at half-time in the derby match.
Having been used as substitute in four appearances, Mkhitaryan will hope to convince Mourinho that he can handle the responsibility that comes with being the playmaker, a position is currently being occupied by Wayne Rooney.
A player that is currently enjoying his time at the Old Trafford is hot sensation, Marcus Rashford who has revealed his love for Real Madrid superstar, Cristiano Ronaldo.
He said: ‘When Cristiano Ronaldo came to United, he was the one who everyone looked up to,
‘The thing that impressed me the most was the fact he was only young when he came into the side and he wanted to be the best player in the side.
‘He worked hard every single day, you saw him in the gym every single day and the results came on the pitch. He openly wanted to be the best player in the world.
‘You have to have an approach like that – all the best players in the world do.
‘It’s not arrogance or anything like that, it’s the mindset you need to achieve things.’
Manchester United will be keen to redeem their reputation when they come up against Feyenord on Thursday night having lost in the Manchester derby
