United fans write to Mkhitaryan thanking him following Arsenal switch

Mkhioitaryan completed him move to the Emirates on Monday, with Alexis Sanchez moving the other way as part of the deal.

Whilst Mkhitaryan largely disappointed during his spell in Manchester, 'MUSC Red Flag', United's official Belgian supporters group, was keen to thank the playmaker and wish him well for the future and opted to pen an open letter to the former Borussia Dortmund man in order to do so.

The letter read: "Dear Henrikh,

"It took me quite some time to put my feelings into words following your departure. But today, I decided to sit down a moment and write thoughtlessly.

"Today, I am not writing for me. I am writing in the name of every fan at Manchester United.

"This letter is not mine. This letter is ours… because WE are UNITED!

"We know there have been a lot of talks regarding your transfer. We are not here to judge either the club or the coach choices, we are here to react as fans, as a family, to show you our love.

"Why are we writing a letter to you? Because we understand you could have left in another way. And we don’t want you to think all the fans wished you to leave. True fans know how to take care of their players.

"Of course, sometimes football is harsh and things don’t always turn out as expected, but we want you to know we will never forget your time at United.

"We will never forget that you saved us the Europa League. It may just be a little thing, but your goal sealed our Champions League return. We can thank you for that.

"Not to mention your scorpion kick against Sunderland… that goal deserves its place among the most beautiful goals in the club history.

"Anyway, just so you know you are a very talented player with a golden heart and lots of qualities.

"We wish you much success at Arsenal and all the best in the future.

"Don’t ever forget who you are.

"Goodbye Micki."
