“As far as the Sanchez/Mkhitaryan swap is concerned, I was a big fan of Mkhitaryan when he was at [Borussia] Dortmund, but things didn’t go his way at Manchester United,” Express quoted Henry as saying. “He looks like an Arsenal player with the way he likes to play and the way Arsenal like to play.
