Jose backs Mkhitaryan to succeed

Jose Mourinho is adamant Henrikh Mkhitaryan
will succeed at Manchester United and insists he
does not need to rush the Armenian into the
starting line-up.
Mkhitaryan is yet to start a game so far this
term, coming off the bench in the three so far -
the Community Shield victory over Leicester and
the Premier League wins against Bournemouth
and Southampton.
Many expected the reigning Bundesliga Players'
Player of the Year to walk straight into United's
team but Mourinho says Mkhitaryan's inability to
do so to date is merely an indication of the
wealth of talent attacking midfield talent at his
disposal.
"It's difficult but if Mata is on the bench, you tell
me I want to kick him out and want to sell him,"
Mourinho said.
"If I don't play Martial it's because he is in crisis,
or if I don't play Ashley Young, it's because I
don't like Ashley Young. If it's Memphis Depay, it
is because he is on his way out...
"It is because I think the others [starting ahead
of Mkhitaryan] are playing really well.
