Coach Manchester United Jose Mourinho explained why Henrik Mkhitaryan so rarely appears in the composition.

Despite the fact that at the beginning of the season midfielder Manchester United Henrik Mkhitaryan consistently entered the main cage of the "red devils", for the last month and a half he only appeared twice on the field as a member of the team. The reason for this was explained by Jose Mourinho.

"I do not see the point of using a football player who enters the field and dissolves," said coach Manchester United. - On the bench, I can put three field players. Dailey Blind can close several positions, Ashley Young - play on the flanks of defense or midfield, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Marcus Rushford - in the attack.

Still there are Anthony Martial, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard, on which I can always count. If you take Mkhitaryan - you will have to give up one of them, which I can not afford. "This season Mkhitaryan took part in twelve matches of the Premier League (813 minutes) and four Champions League matches (284 minutes), marking in each of them tournaments with a hammered ball.
