Mkhitaryan set to feature for Man Utd at Fenerbahce

Henrikh Mkihtaryan looks set to come in from the cold at Manchester United.

The Armenian attacking midfielder has not played for the Red Devils in over a month but that absence is likely to be ended on Thursday night.

Mkhitaryan was put through his paces with the rest of the United squad at the Sukru Saracoglu Stadium ahead of the Europa League clash with Fenerbahce and is expected to be used by Jose Mourinho.

27-year-old Mkhitaryan, who joined from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, has not featured for United since September and has so far appeared in only four competitive matches since arriving in England.

Mourinho is still deciding his starting XI and although 'Micki' is likely to miss out on that, it is understood he will play some part in the Group A fixture as the Red Devils strive to move to the top of the table ahead of Fener.
