ESPN: Henrikh Mkhitaryan stops providing goals

Portal ESPN published an article dedicated to the midfielder of Manchester United and the Armenia national squad Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

“Having assisted five goals in the opening weeks of the season, plenty were sneering at Jose Mourinho's decision to freeze him out for large spells when he first joined the club last season,” the article says.

“More recently, Mkhitaryan hasn't been contributing. He hasn't been providing goals. He's just been occupying a space on the pitch, with Jamie Carragher claiming that in the recent defeat against Chelsea it was as if United were playing with ‘10 men’”.

“He turns 29 in a few months' time so you get the feeling it's now or never. This has to be the season he shines otherwise he may well have to make room for someone who can perform on a more consistent basis and find himself on the transfer list,” ESPN says.

In 16 matches of the current season, Henrikհ Mkhitaryan scored two goals and six assists.
