During the press conference held on Friday, the head coach of "Manchester United" Jose Mourinho stated that the team's newcomer Henrikh Mkhitaryan needs time to adjust to English football.
"For some players, they manage to do it faster, for others - slower," said the Portuguese. "They need time to get used to the intensity, aggressiveness, off-the-ball game, and competition. With time, Micki can become a great player, as he knows he can be."
Speaking with journalists, Mourinho mentioned two footballers who did not immediately shine: "When Willian arrived, he had some problems, but after a few months, he became a top-class player. Then he became a champion and was phenomenal. This is just an example.
Similarly, when Di Maria arrived from Portugal to Madrid, he had to learn a lot. Sometimes it happens. It also happens to defenders, but often they find it easier to adapt than attacking players.
Micki's development was halted by an injury, which caused him to drop out of the lineup for a month, then he needed to get ready for matches and later reach the level to compete with others. We believe in him, and sooner or later there will be no problems."
