Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been praised for his tactical and physical improvement by Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho.

Mkhitaryan, who was signed over the summer from Borussia Dortmund, made just his fifth start of the season on Thursday evening, putting in a scintillating showing in a 2-0 Europa League win over Zorya Luhansk.

The Armenian opened the scoring three minutes into the second half with an excellent run through the middle of the park, and was the centre of all United's good work in what was an otherwise poor performance from the Red Devils.
