Mkhitaryan can make United history in case of scoring against Celta Vigo

PanARMENIAN.Net - Henrikh Mkhitaryan has become the first Manchester United player to score in four successive away games in Europe - at the expense of Zorya Luhansk, Saint-Etienne, Rostov and Anderlecht - and he can break further new ground if he finds the net against Celta Vigo in the Europa League semi-final first leg, the club's official website says.

The fans' favourite is in a position to achieve history for Manchester United when the Reds play in Spain on Thursday, May 4 night.

Should Mkhitaryan strike at Estadio de Balaídos, he'll be the only star in the club's history to have scored in five different games on the road within a single European campaign.

A number of players have netted in three matches on the road in Europe during a single season, including centre-back Steve Bruce in the successful 1990/91 European Cup-Winners' Cup run, when he will feel he was close to making it four with a header in the final, helped over the line from close range by Mark Hughes.

So history could beckon for Mkhitaryan, with his current achievement made even more remarkable by the fact he did not feature at all in the opening away fixture of the Europa League at Feyenoord, and only came on for the last 30 minutes in Turkey against Fenerbahce.
