Paul Merson: Ibrahimovic makes Henrikh Mkhitaryan a worse player

Ex-player of England national football team, Paul Merson commented on return of the Swedish forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Manchester United, Express reported.

Merson does not understand the signing though and reckons it will be of detriment to Mkhitaryan.

“I just don’t get it, I really don’t, I know he got all those goals last season but who else had a great season last year? Herrera, Valencia, no one else. Look at Mkhitaryan now, that won’t happen if Zlatan Ibrahimovic is up front. Look at the way they were breaking then, it was too slow. For me Henrikh Mkhitaryan is one of the best players in the league, when he’s got pace around him like that,” Paul Merson noted adding that Manchester Uniuted midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan is worse when he plays alongside Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
