Henrikh Mkhitaryan included in European Team of the WeekAugust 21, 2017 - 12:51 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been named in the European Team of the Week by Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport. Each week Gazzetta select the best players around Europe from outside Serie A, and the Armenia international was picked after his inspirational performance against Swansea City on Saturday, August 19. This time last year Mkhitaryan was struggling to get games with Manchester United after moving from Borussia Dortmund. However, everything began to click in the second half of the last campaign, and this weekend the playmaker put in a match winning performance, Sport Witness says. Mkhitaryan provided assists for Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial as Jose Mourinho’s side cruised to a 4-0 victory. The result maintained Manchester United’s 100% start to the season, and the club remain top of the Premier League table. Mourinho would likely have seen more than one of his players in last week’s Gazzetta European Team of the Week, but the selection only started with the commencement of Serie A football this weekend. The 28-year-old also put in an impressive performance against West Ham last weekend, when he was again on hand to provide assists for his teammates.
