How Mkhitaryan impressed Jose Mourinho with his attitude: The Sun
The 27-year-old was exiled by the United chief for two-and-half-months because he “wasn’t ready” to play in key fixtures, the Sun reports.
But the ex-Dortmund winger has been coming in on his days off for extra gym and weight sessions.
He impressed Mourinho with his attitude – giving up his weekends to prove the United backroom staff wrong.
And the Armenian star has now been recalled, starring in the Red Devils 4-0 win against Feyenoord last week.
He also played in United’s heartbreaking 1-1 Premier League draw with Everton on Sunday.
An Old Trafford insider revealed: “United have kept close tabs and the feeling is his extra strength will be a huge bonus to him.
“He impressed with his commitment and surprised them by coming in to pump some iron and get more running into his legs.”
Mourinho said last month he had dropped Mkhitaryan because he was not ready for big Premier League matches.
