I told him today [Saturday] that he is going to be involved in the game against Feyenoord. He is trying. Obviously he is not happy but he is transforming his frustration in a good way, which is to close the mouth, work hard and try to adapt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI told him \u2018this was not the game for you\u2019 because I don&#8217;t think he needs 10 or 20 minutes from the bench. I said \u2018I think you need a good game and you need to either start or, if not, to come for the second half\u2019. He needs less pressure and better conditions for him to express his qualities.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Mkhitaryan has played 6 times for Manchester United so far but most of those were off the bench. TFF has a feeling that when he starts playing well United could at once start to click as a unit. <\/p>\n<p>The pace and ball control of the player, when in top form, is a joy to behold and we still think that he is potentially the best number 10 at the club.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see his best moments for Manchester United so far.
