Henrikh Mkhitaryan upset being played out of position at Man Utd

Henrikh Mkhitaryan is unhappy being played out of position by Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho.

The Sun says after defeat to Manchester City, Mkhitaryan is not happy having to play wide in a three behind the striker.

That is where he has appeared in each of his four sub appearances too since his £30million switch from Borussia Dortmund.

Last term, the 27-year-old was voted best player in the Bundesliga after scoring 11 times with 15 assists, mainly from his favoured No10 role.

But to fit him in there at United would mean captain Wayne Rooney being dropped or moved — and Mourinho is not prepared to do that.
