Jose Mourinho was right to say Manchester United played Playstation football against Basle, says Henrikh Mkhitaryan ahead of CSKA Moscow

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has no problem with Jose Mourinho's 'Playstation football' criticism of his Manchester United side.

The Red Devils boss came up with the description of his team after watching their 3-0 Champions League victory over Basle two weeks ago.

Some players might have taken offence to the barb but not United's, according to Mkhitaryan, who said the squad accepted they had not performed to their best.
