​Mkhitaryan accepts it could have started better for him at Man Utd

Henrikh Mkhitaryan admits the start of his Manchester United career hasn't been perfect but does not regret signing for the club.

Writing on The Players' Tribune before the quarter-final victory over West Ham, he said: "At the beginning of this season at United, I suffered an injury and have not had many chances to play. It would be fair to say that the start of my life in Manchester was not perfect.

"But there have been many other times when I've had setbacks, and I have never given up. I will continue working every day so that I can help the team succeed.

"If you asked my mum and my sisters about me, they would say that I am quite hard. I can be very serious. But if I'm being honest, I'm very happy with the way my life has turned out. It was always my dream to play for the biggest clubs in the world."
