Mourinho explains why Mkhitaryan dropped
23:30 15 January, 2018Before the match of the 23rd round of Premier League against Stoke City the head coach of Manchester United José Mourinho explained why he decide to leave Armenian midfielder Mkhitaryan out.
"I would lie if I said it was a pure tactical decision. It was just a choice of the players that we know, in this moment, they have 100 per cent their heads in Manchester United. I don't think it's easy for a player to play when there are doubts about his future. It's added pressure that a player doesn't need, so I think it's the best for him and for us, while the doubt is in the air, to protect him," Daily Star reported quoting Mourinho.
