Henrikh Mkhitaryan set for Man Utd return against Zorya Luhansk

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is set for a Manchester United recall this week against Europa League opponents Zorya Luhansk.

Mkhitaryan, who suffered a thigh injury playing for Armenia earlier this month, has not featured since he was replaced at half-time during the 2-1 derby defeat to Manchester City on September 10.

The 27-year-old has missed United's last four games but returned to training ahead of the 4-1 win over Leicester at Old Trafford on Saturday.

And he is in line to be part of Jose Mourinho's squad for Zorya, currently second in Ukraine's Premier League, when they visit Old Trafford on Thursday, says the Manchester Evening News.

United sit bottom of Group A after their 1-0 defeat to Feyenoord. Zorya drew 1-1 with Fenerbahce in their first game.
