According to the Express, Mkhitaryan spoke glowingly about the relationship he built with Man United striker Adnan Januzaj during their time together a year ago.

Manchester United attacking midfielder Adnan Januzaj has tweeted a picture of himself and new signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan, after the Armenian announced his arrival from Borussia Dortmund.

Jose Mourinho can do wrong at the moment having signed Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as well as the reported £100m chase of Paul Pogba, it seems things are looking up at Old Trafford.

“I am very excited – it’s a big opportunity for me to play for Manchester United, a new challenge for me”.

“I could compare him with players that I had previously but I do not want to do it because the other boys they play for other clubs”, the United boss told MUTV.

Mkhitaryan can play on either wing and behind the striker, but spent most of last season on the right wing and that’s exactly where he’s expected to play in Mourinho’s system next season. He also spoke about the player’s eye for goal, hoping it will serve him well in the premier league.

United are most likely going to sign the fourth player before the start of the season and that would improve their chances of challenging for the Premier League title.

And Mkhitaryan looked delighted to have completed his transfer on Wednesday, and looked somewhat in awe of Mourinho as he greeted him at the club’s training ground, as shown in the video above posted on Manchester United’s official Instagram feed.
