Henrikh Mkhitaryan believes he has proven with his recent performances that he is a quality footballer.
The Armenian has gone some of the way to vindicating Manchester United's summer purchase of him by producing Man of Match displays against Feyenoord and West Ham United in the past few weeks, following a slow start to life at Old Trafford.
Ahed of Thursday night's Europa League clash with Zorya Luhansk in Ukraine, Mkhitaryan said: "I started playing so I'm positive.
"I think positively and I am glad to have more playing time for the future because it's something that is not predictable.
"You have to be ready for every situation. I was ready and I showed I am a top-level player. It doesn't matter if I am going to play or not, I am always ready to help the team."
Mkhitaryan has revealed that there were a couple of key conversations with manager Jose Mourinho during his uncertain period but is confident he is now past that stage of United career.
He added: "I don't want to talk about that because it's in the past already. But we have spoken a lot; first, when I came here and he told me what I have to improve.
"I think he saw I improved in that time and he gave me the next chance to play again.
"It was difficult to watch the games without me but I have proved that I can play with the main squad. Now I can repeat it and I can prove it again."
