Jose Mourinho had a secret plan to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Reports claim that Manchester United head coach Jose Mourinho had a secret plan to sign Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan in 2016 from Borussia Dortmund. The Arsenal star left Manchester United after 18 months at Old Trafford.  Fans tipped him to fire Jose Mourinho’s side to Premier League title glory but the truth is that Mkhitaryan failed to live up to Manchester United’s standards. Manchester Evening News claim that United only signed Mkhitaryan to keep good relationship with his agent Mino Raiola as they needed to bring in Paul Pogba. Then Pogba was in-demand player after his appearances for Juventus and United wanted to sweeten his agent Mino Raiola sMkhitaryan’s deal was used as a ploy in negotiations for Pogba. The Arsenal player's world can also prove that he wasn’t happy at Manchester United and used his chance to move to the Emirates. He said: "When I heard I could swap Man United for Arsenal, I said, 'Yes, I want to do that.’ "I didn't think twice. It's important for me to play in an offensive team. "I couldn't have imagined a better start. I'd missed playing offensively. “I joined Arsenal because [Arsene] Wenger wanted me, not because he wanted to replace Sanchez. “We are different players and characters, with different abilities and skills, so I'll try my best to do everything for the club."

Chelsea fans can’t believe that Willian could be more important to Chelsea than Eden Hazard
