Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville says that he has been very impressed with Manchester United signing Henrikh Mkhitatyan, according to The Sports Review.

Neville believes Mkhitaryan looks like a very good signing following his performance against Spurs.

“He had a large price tag and people expected he would come straight in. But we have Lingard, Martial, Rashford and Mata in the wide areas. He looks very, very good. It is very early days,” Neville told Sky Sports.

Neville added: “He has been good. He looks like he is clever and sees a pass.”

Henrikh Mkhitaryan can help to inspire Manchester United to a top-four finish in the Premier League this season, Arsenal legend Ray Parlour says.

Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, ex Arsenal midfielder Parlour insisted that he isn’t surprised to see Mkhitaryan come into his own at Old Trafford.

“Mkhitaryan scored the goal. At the start of the season, I said he’d be a real good signing. He hasn’t featured too often for Manchester United,” Parlour said.

“In recent weeks, he has shown how good he is. If they can keep him in the side and get the best out of him as well, Jose knows that he has a good squad of players there and they will be hoping they can get a real good run going and threaten that top four.”
