Wayne Rooney: Mkhitaryan is a very talented player, he will thrive at Arsenal

Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney hailed former club for landing "perfect" signing Alexis Sanchez.

The 32-year-old former Manchester United forward believes ex-team-mate Henrikh Mkhitaryan will thrive at Arsenal. "For me, Sanchez is the perfect player for Manchester United. He’s got aggression, passion, desire and you can see he’s a winner – I think that’s what United have lacked," he said. "They need players around Lukaku who are going to push him to try and help him. Sanchez will do that. A bit like Tevez they lift the other players and get an extra 5-10 per cent from them." "He’s a very talented player, I saw it last season in training," Rooney added on Mkhitaryan. "At Manchester United he didn't get the freedom he wanted to go out and perform like he did at Dortmund. At Arsenal he’ll have players around him running off the ball and I think he’ll kick on."
