Here's a really nice article by Henrikh Mkhitaryan about his life and stuff :shobon:

http://www.theplayerstribune.com/henrikh-mkhitaryan-manchester-united-zidane-kaka-and-hamlet/

His father was named Hamlet Mkhitaryan and he wasn't even the only Armenian professional footballer with that name. :monocle:

Lost the same number of European finals as Arsenal?

Ha, the same number of years has elapsed since Arsenal or Boro last appeared in the semi final or final of a major European competition, if memory serves Arsenal haven't been past the last 8 since then?

Mkhitaryan is a legit cool and good dude and I really hope Mourinho gives him the chance he deserves. He's seemed really good in his limited playtime, so I hope there's more to come.

E: that was a really good read!

I don't know wtf is serious or trolling anymore. Mkhitaryan is obviously a better player than Depay/Nani/Bebe and I didn't say he was AS GOOD AS Ronaldo, but it's been a while since I've seen a United player constantly trying to make things happen and trying cheeky flicks and tricks and them leading to chances.

You were a bit ott and sounded like the Liverpool fans often do tbh. You compared him to a guy we sold for what was a world record fee at the time and has gone on to be one of the top two players in the world.

I missed the first goal on Wednesday but I didnt think he was that impressive, he still looks a bit weak at times and not to the pace. He was rubbish off the bench. I couldnt believe he got Man of the Match over Rooney.

Also on Rooney he's been awful for ages, and still had some little moments of that in a great performance, so I wouldnt be counting chickens yet.
