'Maybe I Couldn't Fit Perfectly': Henrikh Mkhitaryan Believes He Didn't Fully Suit Manchester United

Arsenal midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has speculated that the reason it didn't work out for him at Manchester United was down to the club's style of play.

Mkhitaryan spent eighteen months playing under Jose Mourinho at United, before signing for Arsenal in the summer as part of the deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move in the opposite direction.

Talking to Sky Sports, the Armenian compared the playing style of both Arsenal and his old club.

"Everyone knows Arsenal play offensive football, and I love to play offensive football. In Manchester we were playing offensive football too but not in every game, so it was quite different.
