He clearly is capable of being great, but his inconsistency must force Jose’s hand into seeking a better number 10.

"Mkhitaryan has fallen out of favour after starting 11 of United's first 12 games of the season."
I note that Lukaku scored in 10 of United's first 11 games...coincidence?
Probably...

From the M.E.N. - fair play to him...he isn't just throwing his toys or sulking...good attitude if true...and I believe it is...
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is doing extra gym work in an attempt to regain his Manchester United place.
M.E.N. Sport understands Mkhitaryan has been putting in additional hours in between his United training schedule after losing his place in Jose Mourinho's starting XI.
Mkhitaryan, 28, has been dropped from three of the last four matchday squads and has not started since the November 5 defeat at Chelsea, where Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher claimed United played 'with 10 men' due to Mkhitaryan's apparent anonymity.
The Armenia international is believed to be working hard and putting in extra hours away from the club's Carrington training complex after Mourinho admitted he was unhappy with Mkhitaryan's form.
"I was not happy with his last performances. I’m not speaking about one or two, I’m speaking about three, four or five," Mourinho said. "He started the season very well and after that, step by step, he was disappearing.
"His performance levels in terms of goal scoring and assists, high pressing, recovering the ball high up the pitch, bringing the team with him as a No.10, were decreasing step by step. That was enough because the others worked to have a chance. Everybody works to have a chance. It’s as simple as that."
Mourinho said last week it was 'only fair' for Mkhitaryan to return to the squad against Brighton but the United manager retained the same side which beat Newcastle 4-1 the previous week. Mkhitaryan emerged in the 71st minute against the promoted club but was then omitted from the travelling squad to face Watford in midweek.
Mkhitaryan began the campaign enterprisingly, scoring twice and assisting six goals in August and September, but his form has dropped in recent months.

www.football365.com/news/man-utd-mourinho-explains-why-mkhitaryan-cant-make-the-benchJose Mourinho has discussed why Henrikh Mkhitaryan can’t even get on the Manchester United bench at present. Mkhitaryan has not been involved in seven of the last 18 squads, with his only appearance in the first team coming as a second-half substitute during the 1-0 win over Brighton. The Armenia star began the season in superb form, laying on five goals in his first three appearances. But his form nosedived, with Juan Mata or Jesse Lingard now preferred in the No.10 position. Mkhitaryan is struggling even to make the substitutes’ bench and is being linked with a January exit. Following the 1-0 win over Bournemouth on Wednesday, Mourinho explained his reasoning. “I can only have six [outfield] players on the bench and I try to have some balance on the bench,” he said. “I had two defenders and [Daley] Blind who can play in different areas. I had Ashley Young to cover me all of the wing and the wing-back position. “I had [Ander] Herrera as a midfield player, Zlatan [Ibrahimovic] as a striker and Marcus [Rashford] as a second striker and winger. I played [Anthony] Martial, [Juan] Mata and [Jesse] Lingard in the team. To have Micki means that I don’t have one of them and, in this moment, I believe the other ones they deserve [to be picked].”

Not surprised in the slightest. Called it. Whole thing was probably a Woodward PR stunt for Eastern European markets/Raiola buttering up exercise for Pogba. |
