I'll always remember his run in the Europa league that got us back into the UCL but sadly he was just to inconsistent. Hope it works out at Asnl... but not too well

Hoping plenty of success for him at Arsenal? I think we need another banner here.
I find these comments laughable. Mkhi would often play as the number 10 where he was given the freedom of the pitch. Rarely did he have to drop too deep to defend yet whenever he was required to be the out ball or to play it away he would crumble.
I'm not saying hes a bad player but i do wonder if hes suited for the PL. Unless Wenger tells him never to cross the halfway line and stay in a attacking position i dont see how hes going to transform into Messi. Nore do i see Sanchez nose diving in form either.
I don't think Manchester United is the club for him, but I don't think that is an indictment on his career, ability or his mental stability. Players have failed here and flourished elsewhere before.
Very few have flourished at a similar level.
Where was this Mkhi at United?
In the video, he was strong, isn't falling all over the place and virtually linking up all the attacks for Dortmund. The run at 11.20 we have never really seen it at United

Some system can elevate certain type of player performance when they're in form more than other. However, it's pure nonsense to think a system can completely mask one weakness. An in form Ozil when Arsenal as a team clicks is among the best in the world. However, the same Ozil can be reduced to passenger (still tidy on ball) when Arsenal as a whole being outclassed. At this point, it's clear to conclude Mkhi is inferior talent to Ozil. Would you expect Mkhi to stand up in big game and carry Arsenal? We expected him to be one of our key players which he failed here. It wouldn't magically change.
No hard feeling to Mkhi. Wish him to stay healthy and play plenty for Arsenal

A lot of those through balls and runs were down to either poor defending or excellent runs. I think he was never able to adjust to the high levels of defending in the league, and let's face it, our runners don't make the best of runs all the time.

All the best to him at Arsenal.
I'm really sorry for Micky! Met him last October at the Manchester Airport, a nice guy.
But it shouldn't be... maybe the playing style at Arsenal fits him better. I wish him all the best for the future.

He is a good player, and will most likely suit Arsenal more than he suits us. I was really excited when we signed him but it's fair to admit that he hasn't really worked out the way we wanted. I'm glad that Jose can accept that in a player, because we've held on to a lot of players for a lot longer than we should have in the past. I hope he does well at Arsenal tbh, seems like a nice guy
It’s a highlight reel, try not to get sucked in by them. You should watch Mkhi’s highlights of the last 18 months at United. Plenty to smile about.

The sad thing is, once the caf decides it's going against someone, that's that. Even trying to suggest that the player is better than his form gets you in "trouble".
Not really. I have been saying Mkhi has the talent of 50+mil player in this market in other threads with problem. The problem is only with those making as if he is doing no wrong, and we have to change the whole set up to accomodate him like a royalty. He is better than he has been performing, but even at his best he is not worth it to change the whole team. We have tried to get a compromised consistent decent level from him in our system, but he doesn't have it.

He had a season as horrible under Klopp.
Who is a fantastic attacking manager. Who do we blame there?
It's always on someone else with this guy. Reminds me of the last few years of the Rooney era when the blame lay with his position, his teammates, tactics...anything else but him.
Excellent point.
The likes of Anderson come into mind. We became too complacent. Need to be more ruthless.
Happy birthday Mkhitaryan! Have a nice day/medical.
In Klopp's last season? Yeah, every player there had a horrible season, they were in the relegation spots at one point.
I'm not sure why there is a need to point blame. This isn't the optimal environment for struggling attackers. I think he's a good player and will show that at Arsenal. The hell is so controversial about that?
I didn't say his poor form would be completely masked at Arsenal. However instead of just putting it on the player, it's worth asking the question as to why our attack, even without Mhki, looks disjointed and individualistic. Did you watch the game today? Did you see how poor the likes of Rashford and Mata looked?
Now compare our performance to a bad day at the office for the likes of City, Arsenal, and Liverpool, and see how they look going forward, even when attackers are not on form and not everything is clicking.
The irony.
You are basically doing that with United to justify Mkhi's poor form.
The point I'm making is that he has struggled in an attacking team. In fact other one spectacular season under Tuchel, he's merely been decent. Nothing to suggest it will be any different at Arsenal. Just like it was United.
I said a player's poor form (hint, fault of the player) can be exacerbated by the team he plays in (hint, fault of the team). Get it? Chill out.
It just hasn't worked out, but he was given time and opportunity so I guess it's definitely for the best.
He does tend to hide when the going gets tough so he'll fit right into this arsenal team.

The awkward moment when neither United nor Arsenal wish him a happy birthdayHappy birthday Mkhitaryan! Have a nice day/medical.

I'm sure he's a nice fellow, but my god we did the right thing getting rid. Frustrating player to watch.
I think he is going to struggle. Arsenal play in front of teams. He's been useless for us in those situations. Often the player that had the ball taken off him and stopped us sustaining possession in the final third.
He leaves as the makeweight to Sanchez. A good way to go in the eyes of the fans.

This might sound bad but I hope he doesn't do well at Arsenal, can you imagine the headlines if he smashes in there and (God forbid) Sanchez struggles here for a while, the ABU's would have a field month.
I have a hunch he'll be amazing for Arsenal. He is after all an amazing player, and just needs the right environment for his particular gifts.

Nice to see that. Good lad. I have been feeling badly for him, but I think he will enjoy his football more at arsenal.
It wasn't cool of the club to not at least wish him a Happy Birthday on the social media accounts. He is still officially a player for us, and if there have been 0 announcements on club level, a short wish wouldn't have done anything to hurt.
I think Riola is sending a signal out to the United management by putting Pogba there in the photo.
not to mention the Fear of God (Raiola) hoodie, it's pretty clear what's the message
hue hue
He shown some glimpses of that during his time here but 80% of the time his moves are tackled or resulted with bad final decision.

I always backed him up, but he didn't took his chances and when a player like Alexis is available, we had to take it. Mourinho knows better of all people.
One thing I will say is that he will turn up to Arsenal with a real point to prove, I mean, just imagine how he must feel.
That will undoubtedly lift his performances somewhat. And Wenger also will be determined to show that 'Mourinho was wrong' by getting the best out of him.
Don't be surprised to see him do well there.
Just hope Sanchez betters whatever Mkhi brings them.

He will probably start well, people will scream “SEE IT WAS MOURINHO’S FAULT”, and then he will fall off and everyone will go quiet.
Arsenal have much better movement in their attacking Play so he will look like the great Footballer he is again. Our philosophy is just another one and Sanchez is a much better fit.
However, it will be interesting to see if Arsenal can field both him and Özil. On the other Hand this might anyway no question after the summer.

I think people need to calm down. No offence but we have signed Alexis feckin Sanchez who is three times the player Mkhi is at the very least. I would bet my house that Sanchez will prove to be the better end of the bargain.
Mkhi should go on to play better than he did here (let's be honest he couldn't really get any worse) but let's not kid ourselves he will turn into some world beater. He has always been a talented but flakey player and that is how he will be at Arsenal. I can see him grabbbing 10-15 goals a season with lots of assists in a pressure free environment but that does not necessarily mean we were wrong to let him go or he will outperform Sanchez or be amazing. He will basically return to his normal level of play there but not show enough to label him a really top class player. He's never been that IMO. Mental side of his game has never been great.
No doubt he'll do better at Arsenal under Wenger. Will we miss him? No. Didn't have the mentality to play for United.
Wish the lad all the best. Never really felt like a United player. Think Arsenal will fit him better
At least he got cake,think of poor Yaya !
Thank you for being a pro and never heard of any moaning!
We also would have loved you to become a star and are sorry for not happening!
Wishing you all the best besides scoring against us!

He sounds like a really nice guy and intelligent too. Frustrated that he couldn't bring his A game for us, but i wish him well at Arsenal.
Kagawa mk2. As much as I liked him at United, I'll have to hate him now, though. feckin hate Arsenal players, y'know?
