Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho hailed Henrikh Mkhitaryan's mentality after the midfielder's fine solo goal in the Red Devils' 2-0 win over Zorya Luhansk in the UEFA Europa League.
Mkhitaryan Addresses Fallout With Mourinho Rumours
The Armenian has found life tough at United since joining at the beginning of the season, and after a poor showing in the Manchester derby in September, many began to wonder if he would make the grade at Old Trafford.
However, the former Borussia Dortmund star has found his groove in recent weeks, and his manager is delighted to see his playmaker reap the rewards after months of hard work.
"He has a strong mentality," Mourinho said, as quoted by FourFourTwo.
"He was very determined to fight against his difficult adaptation and he's doing that in the best way.
"He worked really hard physically, tactically, and the talent we know is there – the talent we knew what we were buying.
"He fought to improve and now he is playing good in the Premier League, Europa League and the EFL Cup, and now evolving a bit more happiness for him, so I'm very pleased."
