Mourinho won the Premier League title the third time with Chelsea in the 14/15 season, but Ferguson thinks that Jose shouldn’t have joined the club at the first place for his second stint.

That didn’t stop him, however, posing for a picture with a United supporter as he was about to return inside the hotel. A lot of fans are however questioning the new position that Wayne Rooney will play, as Henrikh is mostly suited to the England International’s favored no.10 position. The figure Manchester United have paid is reported to be around £26million.
Manchester United have announced the signing of midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan for an undisclosed fee believed to be £30m.
“I am excited to play for a club with such an illustrious history and hope to be part of it for a long time”, Mkhitaryan continued, before addressing the honour he feels at the switch.
United finished fifth in the league last season, and was in contention for a top-4 berth till the final gameweek.
Jose Mourinho has backed Henrikh Mkhitaryan to make an immediate impact on Manchester United and the Premier League after he completed his move to Old Trafford.
The footballer, who is blessed with an eye for goal, has made 140 appearances for his country and scored 41 goals for Dortmund since joining them in 2013.
Aremenia captain Mkhitaryan is his countyr’s record scorer with 19 goals in 59 matches since making his global debut in 2007.
Describing him as a “fantastic player”, Mourinho goes on to praise the number of goals he scores and creates, claiming he will be of great use for a United side that struggled against defensive sides last season. Until we have the fourth, we are still working hard.

That is something Mourinho is keen the 27-year-old can help turn around as he identified the main strengths of the player’s game. “Had we rejected it, the player would be able to leave for free in 2017”, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke said.
