Henrikh Mkhitaryan: Maybe I couldn't fit perfectly in Manchester football

Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan gave reasons behind his decision to leave Manchester United last month in an interview with Sky Sports.

“Everyone knows Arsenal play offensive football, and I love to play offensive football. In Manchester we were playing offensive football too but not in every game, so it was quite different. I don't want to blame anyone because every manager at every club has a different philosophy. Maybe I couldn't fit perfectly in the Manchester football,” Sky Sports quoted Mkhitaryan.

“Every player has to defend, it doesn't matter if you are a striker, winger, attacking midfield, you have to defend, you cannot just defend with four or five players, the whole team must defend. I'm doing my efforts to help the team to defend, sometimes it can work, sometimes it doesn't. But I always try to do my best for the team first of all, and then I'm thinking of myself,” Arsenal midfielder concluded.

As reported earlier, Henrikh Mkhitaryan joined Arsenal in a swap deal with Alexis Sanchez moving to Manchester United.
