Football is a cruel sport where today’s big name can become a thing of the past in a few months. However, nothing is crueler than you’re club deciding to sell you only six months after signing you.
This is the nightmare that Henrikh Mkhitaryan faces despite the excitement surrounding his Manchester United move. An injury during the international saw his playing time cut, with his last game coming in the 2-1 loss to Manchester City.
The Red Devils take on the Citizens once more, this time in the League Cup, as Mkhitaryan faces a fight for his Old Trafford career. He impressed in his first game – against former side BVB – but hasn’t won over Mourinho since.
The Armenian playmaker was an in-demand player after a sensational season in the Bundesliga. He has been a shadow of his former self since joining the 20-time English Premier League champions, but it should be noted that he endured a slow start at BVB.
Now, the Sun claim that the Special One is looking to sell Mkhitaryan in January despite having made only one start so far. Whether he can recuperate the £30m they paid for him his unlikely, but there would be many suitors to take the Armenian midfielder off Man United’s hands.
