Phil Neville: Mkhitaryan would be fantastic for Arsenal

Former Manchester United player Phil Neville commented on possible transfer of Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Arsenal. 

“I can see Henrikh going to Arsenal and being a fantastic signing for them. If Arsenal sign Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang, Arsenal may become a better team, because they will have two really good players. We didn’t see the best of Mkhitaryan at United. I’m a massive fan of him. We saw glimpses this season, but I didn’t think he would be in Jose’s starting XI. He needs to go to a club where he will be allowed to flourish and maybe Arsenal is that club. I think it is a sensational deal for United,” he told BBC Radio 5 Live .

As reported earlier, Mkhitaryan’s transfer is a part of the deal on transfer of Arsenal midfielder Alexis Sanchez. The Chile midfielder will sign a 4.5-year contract with MU with an annual salary of 14 million pounds.
