Henrikh Mkhitaryan reveals the big difference between Arsene Wenger and Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho The Armenia international completed his move to Arsenal from Manchester United last month in a swap deal which saw Alexis Sanchez move in the opposite direction. The Armenian found himself left out in the cold at Manchester United after suffering a slight dip in form last year, and needed a January move to revive his career. Mourinho offered him to Arsenal in return for their Chilean wonder Alexis Sanchez, who was desperate for a way out of north London. The two managers struck a deal, and a swap took place with Sanchez signing for Manchester United and Mkhitaryan joining Arsenal. Mkhitaryan produced only flashes of his best form during a turbulent 18-month spell at Old Trafford but already appears to have acclimatised to his new surroundings and the requirements of his new manager. The 29-year-old provided three assists on his full debut during last week’s crushing 5-1 win over Everton at the Emirates and summed up the difference between his two most recent bosses by contrasting their approach to man management.

’ ‘I think I left an impression in Manchester, although I had difficulties,’ he added. ‘We won three trophies in a year and a half, it’s not every club that does that. ‘We won the Europa League final, I scored a goal. If people say that I have not had enough success it is their opinion, but I can say that I had a lot of success at the club.’]]>Here’s the lads’ favourite north London derby memories – now let’s have yours ______#THFCvAFC pic.twitter.com/5ozY6vBb4v
