Man United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan "not sure" if he'll be fit for City derbySeptember 6, 2016 - 18:30 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Henrikh Mkhitaryan says he is "not sure yet" if he will be fit for the Manchester derby this weekend, Sky Sports reports. The midfielder, who made a purported £26m move from Borussia Dortmund to Manchester United in July, missed Armenia's World Cup qualifier against Denmark with a thigh injury. Mkhitaryan underwent a scan on the problem, which was sustained in an off-the-ball collision with Marek Suchy during the first half of Armenia's friendly with the Czech Republic, and was expected to be out for around 10 days. In a post on Instagram, he confirmed he is a major doubt for Saturday, September 10's game against Manchester City. "I continue extensively my rehabilitation, but I'm not sure yet if I will be fit for the derby this weekend," he said. "I'm motivated as ever and plan to put all my energy to be in great shape as soon as possible... A simple devotion to what I love most - football! "Thanks for sending me your love and support." Mkhitaryan has featured in all four of Manchester United's games so far this season, all of which have resulted in victories.
