Henrikh Mkhitaryan joins Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund – Twitter reacts
Since emerging as a possible target for The Red Devils, the name of Henrikh Mkhitaryan has been on everyone’s lips. Arsenal, along with a whole host of other top clubs aside, were also keen on the Armenian’s signature, but it seems as though the midfielder has got his wish, joining the side that he apparently favoured. Mkhitaryan has signed a four-year contract at Manchester United after a £26million deal was completed today.
🍒It appears as though José Mourinho’s first priority is to build a formidable spine to the team he hopes will dazzle Old Trafford and spark a return to the glory years. Already looking increasingly likely to retain the services of David De Gea, the signing of centre-half Eric Bailly could easily emulate Kurt Zouma in his rapid rise to supremacy in the Premier League, while more recent acquisitions in the form of Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic create a fearsome line-up going forward.
♐As part of Dortmund’s attacking triumverate; which also included Marco Reus and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mkhitaryan enjoyed a terrific season in the Bundesliga, and was also a key reason behind Dortmund’s progression to the Europa League quarter-final.
☂In 28 domestic starts, the managed 11 goals and 15 assists, while in the Europa League, he hit the back of the net on two occasions and accumulated five further assists.
💫Clearly then, Mkhitaryan is at his best in and around the edge of the penalty area, using his fabulous vision and inventive passing to pick out a team-mate. With Anthony Martial scything in from the left, and Marcus Rashford and Zlatan making intelligent darts in central areas, the former Dortmund man will be spoiled for choice. He could well grow into a serious force for Manchester United, and be looked upon by the opposition as the crucial man to stop.
🤪Let us know your thoughts on this signing in the comments section below. Will he be a success for United in the Premier League, and in what system would he be best suited? Here is how Twitter reacted to the news:
🎐From almost all football fans, Mkhitaryan’s arrival at Old Trafford was met with genuine admiration:
🦂What a signing Henrikh Mkhitaryan is for Manchester United… and for just £26m too!

🐠Think this is the most excited I've been about a signing since Fergie left.
— SAMCRO (@Dannyboyo_)
𝓀In Mkhitaryan, United have signed both a scorer and creator of goals. Truly a top signing worthy of being jealous of.

🎃How's mourinho going to fit Zlatan, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford, Rooney, Mata, Memphis and possibly Pogba in one team..

🉐If only Man Utd was in UCL, they would have signed players like Xhaka, Nolito and Takuma, We have to settle for Zlatan and Mkhitaryan. 😂

Possible Man Utd front three next season:
RW: Henrikh Mkhitaryan
LW: Anthony Martial
ST: Zlatan Ibrahimovic
🔥— LINO (@linext21)
ඣHow's mourinho going to fit Zlatan, Mkhitaryan, Martial, Rashford, Rooney, Mata, Memphis and possibly Pogba in one team..
— عُمَر (@omar_samhouri)
🉐Meanwhile, rival fans (seemingly all of whom were Arsenal supporters) bemoaned their own side’s lack of activity…
♊Mkhitaryan to United confirmed. Emile Heskey to Arsenal stalled as Wenger won't stump up the asked-for packets of Walkers crisps.
— Meech (@IrieLionMitch)

😼The statistics surrounding United’s summer business are nothing short of remarkable…
🍸Man United scored 49 goals in the Premier League last season, Ibrahimovic & Mkhitaryan scored 49 goals combined in their respective leagues.
— Statman Dave (@StatmanDave)
🦩15 – Henrikh Mkhitaryan assisted the most goals (15) & created the 3rd most chances (83) in the 2015-16 German Bundesliga. Devil.
— OptaJoe (@OptaJoe)
💖And, in case you don’t know, here is how we pronounce his name…
🦄Just for the record, how is Mkhitaryan pronounced?!
