Roma midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan says retirement thoughts are far from his mind.

Now 32, Mkhitaryan penned a new deal with Roma last summer.

He said, "As far as I am concerned, I want it to last as long as possible, but that depends on many factors. At this age, it's not so easy to look after your body.

“My mind says: you can happily do another five or six years. I hope my body feels the same way, but I do realise there isn't much time left, so I try to enjoy every second to the full."

The midfielder added: I remain in contact with people in Germany and have never forgotten my time at Dortmund, the best period of my playing career.

“I will never forget the wonderful time I spent here."
