Man Utd's Henrikh Mkhitaryan determined to prove his worth
Wednesday 9 November 2016 17:53, UK
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has vowed to fight for his place at Manchester United, insisting nothing will stop him achieving his dreams at Old Trafford.
The 27-year-old attacking midfielder joined United from Borussia Dortmund during the summer for a fee of £26.3m.
However, Mkhitaryan has found playing time restricted since his big-money move, making his first appearance in 54 days as United fell to a 2-1 Europa League defeat at Fenerbahce last week.
Jose Mourinho fumed at his players after the loss in Turkey and the Armenian substitute did not avoid his wrath, with the United boss saying he "needs to do more" - just days after backing the midfielder to eventually flourish in the north west.

Mkhitaryan's frustration at the lack of game-time is clear, as is his determination to prove his worth in the Premier League.
"It is true that I get little time on the field, but I am not going to give in," he told reporters after being appointed as Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF in Armenia.
"I went a long way to play in Manchester United, so nothing will prevent me from achieving my dream.
"I will not retreat, I will find the strength to reach my goal."
