The reason behind Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho’s approval of Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s departure has reportedly come to light. We had a quick change of inside information with John McKoy, writer for FootballPredictions.com, on this matter and he came up with an interesting point of view.
The Armenia international is bound for the Emirates Stadium and his move will be officially announced once his work permit has been sorted, with the swap deal involving Alexis Sanchez finally agreed.
Mkhitaryan is expected to become the highest paid player in the history of the North London club with this deal, while Alexis will reportedly be raking in £400k-per-week at Old Trafford.
After starting the Premier League season in fine form, Mkhitaryan has failed to register a goal since September.
Now, according to report, Mourinho could no longer wait for the former Dortmund to regain his form, he has become bored with the player’s lack of consistency and as a result decided that he didn’t possess the right mentality to play for the club.
England international Jesse Lingard has been given more preference over the 29-year-old in recent weeks, and he has grabbed the opportunity with several brilliant performances.
Although Arsenal team is brimming with talented attacking midfielders, Arsene Wenger is not concerned by having too many players that can be deployed to the role of main striker.
He said: “Just play the good players! They can always play together.
‘[Against Crystal Palace] what have you on the pitch? They’re all attacking players. [Alex] Iwobi, Ozil, [Jack] Wilshere, [Alexandre] Lacazette, [Granit] Xhaka. They’re all offensive players, basically.”
The Mancunians will face Tottenham Hotspur in their next league game meanwhile Mkhitaryan will probably make his debut against Swansea City. We would highly recommend McKoy’s Premier League predictions work on their website!
