Mkhitaryan looking to impress Mourinho

Despite a slow start last season, the Armenian eventually forced his way into the United team and impressed as United won the EFL Cup and Europa League, however, he is not resting on his laurels.

After making just 24 Premier League appearances last season, he is keen to make sure he features more regularly this time around.

In an interview with 'Sky Sports News', the 28-year-old said: "I'm always trying to help the team to achieve their dreams, I'm always trying to help the team score goals and to assist because it is very important, that's what we are playing for," 

"Of course, there will be games where you are not able to do this but you have to try to help the team and your team-mates to do that for you."

"He [Mourinho] always tries to find the best for the player and he is always looking to the players if they are working very hard and that's what I am doing. I am working hard, I'm doing my best to show him that I am ready to play."

The former Dortmund man stressed the importance of a winning mentality at a club like Manchester United, saying: "Every player who is playing for Manchester United must have this mentality because if you are here, it means you have to win. You are not here just to say you are a player of Manchester United."

"You are here to show off your quality, to help the team win trophies and to be the best."

Mkhitaryan ended the interview by giving his thoughts on the signings of Romelu Lukaku and Victor Lindelof and was understandably happy to see them join the club: "I'm very pleased, I'm very happy that they have joined Manchester United, they are very good football players and it is not just like that they are here. It means they are strong enough to play for this team. Of course we are going to help them to settle down and adapt themselves to help us win the games," he added.

His eagerness to impress will be music to the ears of United fans everywhere.
