Manchester United Fans Warn Jose Mourinho To Never Bench This Midfielder

After being ignored by Jose Mourinho for quite some time, Henrikh Mkhitaryan finally showed why Manchester  United paid  £26.3 million to secure his services. The Armenia international gave a sizzling display and recorded two assists out of which with one was a gem of a backheel for Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as Jose Mourinho’s men ran riot against West Ham United in the quarterfinal of the EFL Cup.

Two goals each from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Anthony Martial helped the Red Devils to thrash the Hammers by 4-1 and book their place in the semifinals, where they will take on Hull City.

While the team received lavish praise for their impressive performance, it was the Armenian who the centre of attraction. The former Borussia Dortmund midfielder arrived at Old Trafford after having a brilliant season with the Bundesliga giants. However, he fell out of favour with Mourinho after some average displays. He was initially dropped from the team after he was injured,but he was still not included in the starting eleven that compelled the fans to criticise the United manager. He finally returned to the starting lineup and justified the decision by bagging the Man of the Match award.

As expected, fans were delighted with his performance and took to Twitter to praise the midfielder. Here are some of the best reactions:
