DBasia.news – Life is changing very fast for Henrikh Mkhitaryan. Last year, he scored the goals in the Europa League final round for Manchester United. Mkhitaryan is now playing for Arsenal. The Armenian midfielder was part of Man United-Arsenal transfer involving Alexis Sanchez during the winter transfer market last January.
The change brings back smile to Mkhitaryan. His potency was growing by Arsenal’s offensive playing under Arsene Wenger last season. Besides, he will be reunited with his two former teammates in Borussia Dortmund, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, and Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
In a year, Mkhitaryan can compare the biggest difference between Man United and Arsenal, especially in the changing room atmosphere. His words aren’t surprising: Mkhitaryan feels more comfortable with The Gunners.
“Everything about Arsenal is totally different to United. As soon as I came to Arsenal I felt the warmth. It’s like a family where everyone’s taking care of you,” Mkhitaryan told Standard Sport.
“The philosophy, the playing style, the club – nothing is comparable. It’s like a new page in the book of my life. Arsenal always played offensive football but under Jose, the team at United was playing differently. I’m not criticising him or blaming him. It was just a different philosophy. But I am enjoying myself more at Arsenal.”
Mkhitaryan’s arrival strengthened the offensive power in Arsenal under Unai Emery. If Emery can form the squad with a beautiful style, the talents like Mkhitaryan, Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette, Mesut Ozil, and Aaron Ramsey will be the nightmare for the opponent’s defense.
