Jose Mourinho has called on Henrikh Mkhitaryan to produce more for Manchester United.

The Armenian attacker made his first appearance for the Red Devils since the Manchester derby in September in Thursday night's Europa League clash with Fenerbahce.

Mkhitaryan replaced Marcus Rashford in the 61st minute of the 2-1 defeat in Istanbul and according to Mourinho, the summer signing has to show a lot more if he wants to be considered for a starting position.

"He has to do more. It's as simple as that," said Mourinho when asked specifically of the former Borussia Dortmund star.

"We have big expectations at this club, lots of players for these positions and he has to play better than (Juan) Mata, (Jesse) Lingard, (Anthony) Martial – he has to play better than them. It's as simple as that.

"Every manager wants to win matches, every manager in the world wants to play the players that he thinks can help the team more, and I'm no different."
