https://twitter.com/HenrikhMkh/status/955850802949705729 Mkhitaryan joined United for £30 million in 2016 and while he had a decent beginning to life in England, scoring 11 goals in 41 games last season, he's managed just two in 22 since the start of the current campaign. The 29-year-old's switch to the Gunners is seen as a positive one by many, with his national team's manager admitting he's delighted with the fact that Mkhitaryan's time under Mourinho has come to an end. https://twitter.com/Arsenal/status/955538959651786756 Armenia boss Artur Petrosyan has slammed Mourinho's treatment of the midfielder, claiming that too much defensive work was expected of Mkhitaryan."I think it’s a good move for everybody, that's why I'm also happy for Mkhi," Mourinho said.
"Could he perform better with us? Could I take more from his talent? Maybe. Could he give a little more also to adapt to us? Maybe. But I don't have regrets."
"We are very happy with this transfer from Manchester United. His style of play will be better suited at Arsenal," Petrosyan said. "It is my impression that I think Henrikh had a problem with the coach [Mourinho], and, at Arsenal, it will be another thing and not the same situation. There will not be so much pressure on him defensively."After confirming that Mkhitaryan would be called up for Armenia’s next game, a friendly against Lithuania in March, Petrosyan admitted his frustration with his star player's lack of playing time with the Red Devils in recent months. He added: "I am not happy with Mourinho’s decision not to play him but it is his club, his team, he knows what he wants. I was sad he [Mkhitaryan] did not play the last matches. It is good he has left."
