Mourinho insists: Man Utd attacker Mkhitaryan fit again!

Manchester United's Jose Mourinho has revealed that Henrikh Mkhitaryan is again fully fit.

The Armenian attacking midfielder has been sidelined since injuring his thigh in mid-September but according to Mourinho, he is now ready for action.

However, the Red Devils boss could not confirm whether or not Mkhitaryan, who joined from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, would feature in Thursday's Europa League clash with Fenerbahce at Old Trafford.

"He was injured and he was injured for quite a long time. Now, he's not injured anymore," said Mourinho.

"He's training with the team without any limitation. I cannot confirm if he's [ready] for tomorrow or not, but he's fit and it's now time for him to go back to the levels we know that he can achieve."

Mkhitaryan has made four Premier League appearances, including a start in the derby with Manchester City, for a total of five competitive outings for United.
