But if you put the effort in and you improve you get back in the side. It's not personal.
Look at Martial, he was poor all last season spent a lot of time on the bench and looked like he was off but he instead he got his head down showed character and now he's back as first choice.
That's what Mkhitaryan has to do, I personally can't see it happening because his mentality seems terrible but hopefully it does.
Not disputing the bulk of your post but he was doing OK at the start of the season. So it's not like he's been terrible as people are suggesting. There could be a good reason why, like the rest of the team, his drop in performances coincided with the absence of Pogba. In Pogba's absence, we've resorted to playing deeper and hoof ball tactics, something I don't think you can coach that into Micky at this stage. So, there is reason for people to consider that he just doesn't fit into José's tactics.
Under José, even the attackers must be able to do more defensive work than the average attacking player. Maybe the player is really struggling to adapt to being an attacking player whilst having more than the normal defensive responsibilities. At Dortmund and Shakthar, he flourished in a predominantly attacking approach. All these things add up. Are we surprised that talk coming out is that the player also questioned the manager's approach as the manager questioned his application? Something the football world is on José's back for and as we are on the player's back too. Two sides of a coin.
But at the end of the day, without being a José fan, he is still the manager and it his prerogative on how he wants to play and how he wants the players to adapt. Yes, again the player can be doing much more but this is going to go down a poor recruitment by José.
So, I'm in agreement that the player needs to move on but not for the reason that he's the worst players on the planet. Square peg and all that jazz. As you can see from all of José's buy, bar Micky, they all have a higher degree defensive graft about them when compared to their positional counterparts. Wrong fit from day one, as was Martial and Shaw who got enormous stick and borderline assault from our fans.
