UNITED SIGN HENRIKH MKHITARYANManchester United is delighted to announce that Henrikh Mkhitaryan has completed his transfer from Borussia Dortmund. Henrikh joins on a four-year contract with the option to extend for a further year. Mkhitaryan, 27, made 140 appearances and scored 41 goals for Borussia Dortmund after joining them in 2013. Last season he scored 23 goals and registered an impressive 32 assists across all competitions. Henrikh was voted Bundesliga Player of the Season for 2015/16 in a poll of his fellow professionals, and he was named in the Team of the Season following votes by the players’ union in Germany, VDV. The midfielder is Armenia’s all-time top scorer, with 19 goals in 59 appearances since his international debut in January 2007. Henrikh captains his national team and has received the Armenian Footballer of the Year award on five occasions. Henrikh Mkhitaryan said: "I am very proud to join Manchester United, this move is a dream come true for me. I am excited to play for a club with such an illustrious history and hope to be part of it for a long time. I thank the trust the club and Jose Mourinho have put in me. Finally, I believe playing for such a great club honours my father’s memory, and the inspiration and drive he gave to me when I was young." José Mourinho said: "Henrikh is a very talented footballer who has been in such prolific form for both his club and his country. He is a real team player with great skill, vision and also has a good eye for goal. I am delighted he has chosen to sign for United. I believe he will make an impact on the team very quickly as his style of play is suited to the Premier League. We are all looking forward to working with him." www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2016/Jul/Manchester-United-confirms-signing-of-Henrikh-Mkhitaryan-from-Borussia-Dortmund

Aye, he's the one I'm most looking forward to from the new signings, massively been lacking creativity over the past years.

Great to have a creative player, also very happy that he's not a super star (just yet) so he's a somewhat modest guy that would aim high without the pressure of too high expectations. If he plays on the right, like everyone suspects, it would be very interesting to see what happens with Lingard

Very shy in his first interview, totally different character than Zlatan. Hope he is not that shy on the pitch and gains the confidence he needs quickly.
In form an absolutely deadly player.

Finally done and should hopefully light up the right wing .
Jesse did alright out there but only alright to be fair,lacked the final product too often and we know Mata doesn't belong out there either.
Martial on the left with Micky on the right gives us a new balance with speed and product on both flanks.

Interesting to see where he will end up playing... I would have thought wide right but now not so sure
