Henrikh Mkhitaryan frustrated with Manchester United positioning

PanARMENIAN.Net - New boy Henrikh Mkhitaryan is frustrated at not being played in his favurite position, The Sun reports.

The Armenian made his first Manchester United start in Saturday’s 2-1 derby defeat — but was hooked at the break.

He repeatedly lost the ball and failed to break down the right as boss Jose Mourinho wanted.

But Mkhitaryan is not happy having to play wide in a three behind the striker.

That is where he has appeared in each of his four sub appearances too since his switch from Borussia Dortmund.

Last term, the 27-year-old was voted best player in the Bundesliga after scoring 11 times with 15 assists, mainly from his favored No 10 role, The Sun said.

But to fit him in there at United would mean captain Wayne Rooney being dropped or moved — and Mourinho is not prepared to do that.
