The English club has summed up the results of the survey. Mkhitaryan was named best for the goal scored on February 5 against the match with Leicester.
“I’ve been outside on the pitch as well and, to be honest, it is not the best,” the Dutchman said. “Maybe the quality of the game will be different, but in the end it doesn’t have to be an excuse for us. We’re here for one thing: we have to concentrate, play the game and try to win – that’s what we’re here for.”
United’s leading scorer will consequently miss the Emirates FA Cup tie at Chelsea, followed by the Premier League matches against Middlesbrough and West Brom. He is due to return in the home game with Everton on 4 April but remains eligible for the Reds’ Europa League clashes with FC Rostov.
Daily Star quoted Mourinho as saying: “Mkhitaryan wasn’t ready during the previous match against Bournemouth. I’m sure he will recover this week, and there won’t be any problems,” he said.
Kopa, who won three European Cups alongside the likes of Ferenc Puskas and Alfredo Di Stefano in the 1950s, had been hospitalised in the French town of Angers since Sunday.
However, Mourinho believes the 28-year-old is well on the road to recovery, even if another of his players, Bastian Schweinsteiger, has picked up a minor knock.
Manchester United has initiated a poll on its Twitter account for choosing the best player of the month. Three football players are included in the poll – Zlatan Ibrahimovich, Paul Pogba and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
Midfielder of Armenia national football team and “Manchester United” club Henrikh Mkhitaryan gas been awarded with “Haykyan” special prize. Mkhitaryan was awarded for his signiùcant contribution to the development of Armenian football and for popularizing Armenian sports.
The Armenian was incredible once again in the FA Cup fifth round tie against Blackburn Rovers and has earned praise as the side’s standout performer.
“We have just little injuries with Rooney and Carrick and Mkhitaryan,” he told BT Sport. “He arrived this morning ill. Apart from that, the boys are fit, in good conditions,” Mourinho said, as quoted by Manchester Evening News.
