Mhkitaryan Hits At Mourinho’s Tactics At Manchester United, Showers Accolades On Arsenal’s Playing Style

The Armenian playmaker after joining  Arsenal from Manchester United said he is looking forward to playing “attacking football” in north London

Henrikh Mkhitaryan disclosed that Arsenal’s offensive tactics makes it a dream to join the Premier League club.

Mkhitaryan, 29, joined Arsenal earlier this month as part of a swap contract that led Alexis Sanchez to Manchester United.

The Armenia international made just 11 league starts at United this season before making the move to the Emirates Stadium.

As he praised new manager Arsene Wenger, Mkhitaryan said Arsenal’s style of play also made the club an attractive destination, perhaps aiming a dig at former boss Jose Mourinho’s perceived defensive approach at United.

“Of course it’s very important to have respect from your manager. I know that he’s demanding and he likes his players to explore,” he told Arsenal Player of Wenger.

“He was one of the [reasons] to join Arsenal as well because everyone knows he’s a great manager.
