YEREVAN, JANUARY 30, ARMENPRESS. Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho commented on Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s performance in the team.

"Since he came into the team, we and Micki himself thought he was ready. He had a good impact immediately, then he had a break with the injury against Tottenham, and then he came back and played quite well, so we are happy with him," he told reporters.

Captain of Armenia’s national football team and Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan commented on the Manchester 4-0 FA Cup win against Wigan.

Mkhitaryan said: "It feels good. It was not our best game in the first half but in the second we were very good.

"In the first we couldn't find free space but in the second we had more of that. The most important thing is we won 4-0 and go through."

On his second-half goal he added: "It was a very nice counter attack. Everything happened very quickly.

"It doesn't matter if I am playing or not I am trying to do everything I can, working very hard. I am trying to do my best for the team”, Daily Star quoted Mkhitaryan as saying.

Next up for United is a Premier League clash against Hull on Wednesday evening.

Marouane Fellaini opened the scoring before Chris Smalling, Mkhitaryan and Bastian Schweinsteiger extended the lead.
