Jose Mourinho is planning to get rid of Henrikh Mkhitaryan this winter, according to reports.

The Sun suggests that the Manchester United boss has been unimpressed by the Armenian attacking midfielder and is planning to dump him in January.

Mkhitaryan joined the Red Devils from Borussia Dortmund for around £30million in the summer but has failed to force his way in at Old Trafford.

While 'Micki' has missed matches with a thigh injury, he has reportedly fallen short of Mourinho's demands which could lead to a premature Old Trafford exit.

The former Dortmund ace has started just once for United for a total of five competitive appearances, which includes the Community Shield in early August.
