He is currently one of United's most expensive players of last summer, the Red Devils are the second club that spent the most money in players and they are hardly using one of them. There is still no explanation to why Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan hasn't featured in the most important matches with the club. He could be of great help for the club, but for some reason Jose Mourinho has decided to snub him constantly.
Owen Hargreaves has no idea why this is happening, he demanded explanations talking to Squawka: "He needs to play, I can't believe that he's not getting a look-in. He would be a banker in my starting XI. He had a slow start at Dortmund too and he was the players' player of the year last season. He got 23 goals and 32 assists, which is staggering numbers. This wasn't in a terrible league against pub teams and I can't think of anybody who could put up those numbers besides Messi and Ronaldo. He's a top player and we haven't seen it yet at United.
"The thing is, he's such a wonderful player but I think he's also quite a sensitive guy. It would have been perfect if he started off flying with goals and assists, but the slow start has probably hit his confidence. We must carry on. Luckily, in three days we have a very important fixture, and as from now we must focus on this new opportunity to get better. It sounds like a cliche but it's true; when we win and everybody praises you it's easy to be united and celebrate together, but it is now, after such a defeat, when we must remain mentally strong and keep going. Together we win and together we lose."
