Manchester United star Henrikh Mkhitaryan is a genius on and off the pitch and can speak seven different languages: The Sun

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has won the hearts of Manchester United fans with his attitude since moving from Borussia Dortmund over the summer, the Sun reports.

The Armenian has not been afraid to speak to the media after matches, despite Jose Mourinho having been slow to integrate him into his team.

And it is little wonder that he is confident stepping in front of the cameras given his grasp of English.

Mkhi is a comfortable speaker and said all the right things after netting his first goal for the club in their 2-0 Europa League victory over Zorya.

And it is just one of an incredible seven languages in which he is fluent.

Apart from his native tongue of Armenian, as well as the English he learned when taking his first steps in the professional game, Mkhi can speak French having lived there as a boy and idolised Zinedine Zidane before returning to Armenia aged seven.

He also learned Portuguese when he stayed in Brazil as a 14-year-old, added to the Russian he learned to speak with his grandmother.

Mkhi learned Ukrainian during five years spent there playing for Metalurh Donetsk and Shakhtar Donetsk, before picking German up for good measure during his three years at Dortmund.

Mkhi struggled for game time in the first three months of the season under Mourinho, who has since praised the “evolution” of the man he shelled out £27million to land.

After netting a superb solo effort against Zorya, Mkhi is now targeting a goal against Spurs on Sunday to pay back the fans that have been calling for him to start.
