Jose Mourinho: 'Henrikh Mkhitaryan exit is possible'

Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has opened the door to Henrikh Mkhitaryan leaving the club.

The Armenian international could reportedly be included in a player-plus-cash deal that would involve Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez joining United. When asked about Mkhitaryan's future, Mourinho told Sky Sports News: "He is a Manchester United player. He is a player I like and of high quality. "Is he going to be involved in a deal to leave us? It is possible, but it is also possible that he stays. I am trying to protect him and the team. The market is open. I have a squad of 32 players and I want to keep a squad of 32 players."
