Wayne Rooney: Henrikh Mkhitaryan wasn’t given enough ‘freedom’ at United but is perfect for Arsenal

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney is tipping former team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan to thrive at Arsenal and says the Armenian was not afforded enough ‘freedom’ at Old Trafford.

‘I think he is better suited to Arsenal," Rooney told Monday Night Football. "I saw it in training with him – he’s a very talented player. At United he didn’t get the freedom he really wanted to perform which he had at Dortmund. ‘It was a different style and at Arsenal he’ll have players around him. He’ll create goals, he’ll score goals and I think he’ll kick on.’ Note, that the 28-year-old Armenian international joined the London club last month in a swap deal that saw Alexis Sanchez move in the opposite direction.
