Henrikh Mkhitaryan scores long-awaited Manchester United goal

Henrikh Mkhitaryan scored a stunning first goal for Manchester United in the Europa League match against Zorya Lugansk in Ukraine on Thursday, December 8.

Mikhitaryan nicked the ball in the centre circle, drove forward, leaving three defenders in his slipstream before slotting calmly past the advancing keeper.

The Armenian has had to wait for his chance in the United first-team, but is now grabbing it with both hands after a strong run of recent form.

Mkhitaryan spent much of the early part of the season on the bench, but is surely undroppable now after this Lionel Messi-esque solo effort in Ukraine.
