Manchester United’s summer signing from Borussia Dortmund hurt himself last Thursday during a 3-0 defeat for Armenia against the Czech Republic. “Unfortunately, the results are not encouraging”, the statement read.

Peter Schmeichel believes City rivals have “no chance” in catching United’s popularity on the world stage.

Manchester United’s Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a major doubt for next weekend’s derby against Manchester City after being ruled out for between seven and 10 days with a thigh injury sustained on global duty.

The 27-year-old returned to Manchester on Saturday to be assessed by United’s medical staff at Carrington.

Mkhitaryan will be gutted to have picked up the injury just as he started to show what he could do for United against Hull City before the global break. “My dear fans, thank you for all your messages of support”. A simple devotion to what I love most – football!

Despite only having featured as a substitute in United’s first three Premier League matches thus far, Mkhitaryan was reportedly set to start his first match for the club against Manchester City next week.

“I think it was not some really hard challenge, he was a fast player and I was just standing there”, Suchy said.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan hopes he will be able to play in match against Danish national
