Jose Mourinho has held clear-the-air discussions with Roma star Henrikh Mkhitaryan following his appointment as the Serie A side's new boss, according to reports in Italy.
The duo spent 18 months together at Manchester United but endured a frosty relationship, with the Portuguese often criticising the playmaker for his underwhelming performances.
Mkhitaryan's future at the Stadio Olimpico was therefore believed to be unclear when the 58-year-old was appointed as Paulo Fonseca's successor in May, just a few weeks after being sacked by Tottenham.
But Corriere dello Sport claim the pair have joked about their acrimonious fallout at United, and that Mourinho played a crucial role in convincing the Armenian to commit his future to Roma earlier this month.
