Mkhitaryan credits Mourinho for key tactical change in Leicester City winFebruary 6, 2017 - 14:08 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Henrikh Mkhitaryan has credited Jose Mourinho with making a key tactical change in Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Leicester City, Metro reports. The summer signing from Borussia Dortmund began the match on the left flank in a 4-4-2 system but after the 20-minute mark, Mourinho decided to change his formation, which allowed the midfielder to move into a central role. Mkhitaryan opened the scoring in the 42nd minute after finishing his powerful run through on goal, while Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Juan Mata struck to secure the victory over the Premier League champions. "It was something that we prepared before the game but the manager said if it doesn’t work with two strikers, we have to try to change the formation, and that’s what we did," Mkhitaryan told Sky Sports. "It’s not something that’s new for us, you can see in many games we’ve changed the formation very easily. "I think we did quite good after he changed. We have tried to have more chances to score, and I think it worked." Top stories Armenian gymnast, Olympic bronze medalist Artur Davtyan has reached the finals of the World Cup.
