Well done Henny, Arsenal are the perfect attacking team for him to express.

Maybe he just dreams a lot?
One game... one game 
Arsenal fan?
Why would that statement make you query if someone is an Arsenal fan.....it's pretty true.
When it comes to attacking football , most definitely, problem?
No, just wondering who do you support.
Seemed like you're not a United one, all good.
Bet he's a John Lennon fan "You may say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one, I hope some day you'll join us, and the world will be as one!"
Good game today though.
It's why I never take these "dream" statements too seriously. Sometimes they are true but mostly they are just PR
Maybe that’s how Wenger persuaded him to join the arse?
But agree. Good game. When heis on song he was a cracking player shame he couldn’t read the hymn sheet that often here.
Arsenal is the perfect environment for him.
Soft club and soft player with a manager that won't challenge him.

You're talking more about him than about your own players. It's one game.
He has 5 assists in first two games.
His biggest problem is that he is mentally weak.
Gone too soon.
Mourinho has reason to be defended. We saw this guy cross into stands, pass to no one and hide for the rest of a game once he got kicked.
Those things have nothing to do with a system.
You're telling me Arsenal's board expect to be challenging.
Have you been living under a rock?
Their owner literally said he didn't buy them to win titles.
Miss many an easy chance (though he was not alone). Really don't get the desire to worship players who did not do well here. Especially once they move one.
It's amazing the people who put no onus onto well paid players to perform.
He'll do this.
I'm sure he'll have plenty more great games for them.
He'll also go missing a hell of a lot and leave a lot to be desired.
That's the player he is

Great start for him - pleased to see it.
I thought it was agreed he's super talented but inconsistent and crumbles under pressure. An Arsenal player to the ground.
Danny Welbeck all over again.
The meltdown when he scores against us.

What I could never understand about him, was how such a talented play could pass to the opposition under no pressure, repeatedly.
When you're growing up in a country where you don't have a strong league, you follow all teams and enjoy the attacking football and the legendary teams.
Teams like AC Milan, Juve, Utd, Arsenal, Madrid were the teams everyone followed so generally you come to respect those teams. It's not a dream (dream must be used by the PR team) more like respect for the historic club and pride to play there.
Mourinho doesnt pick the players, he gives a profile of the players. He wanted someone with some of his qualities
There are obvious agendas and essentially people wanting to slander either manager or the player. And he clearly had some very good highlights for you. However I think the strengths of Mkhitaryan are partly his off the ball runs in behind. Now I do wonder if he's allowed to do that more at Arsenal where there isn't as much as a concentrated collective defensive system that Mourinho employs. Nothing wrong with that, defense wins titles and all that.
But he might be hot and cold for us just like he was for you, it's really something to gauge over the long term. And any intelligent analytical United fan should know much more about the player than I do much like I know much more about Alexis than you lot do
Ffs, people at the end thanked him for contribution in Europa League last season and wish him best of luck (nice personality, didn't work out...)
He then has one very good game and most people lose their shit here. Let it go, it's Arsenal, they are way behind us and we got an amazing player in return. He can have another 3 assists against Spurs next week as I'm concerned. Just hope he has a stinker when he meets us.

Watch our game against Derby (which you won't), the man couldn't hit a barn door that day.There are obvious agendas and essentially people wanting to slander either manager or the player.

Good game but most expected. If he can do this week in and week out until end of season,fair play.
But need to see how he does against big teams.
No matter what position or tactics he was used in with United, it doesnt excuse him losing the ball trying to run through people or misplacing 5 yard passes or putting crosses into the stands. he was shocking the last few months for us and I think he needed a step down.

Its almost like he never had a good game playing for us. He had some good games but was ultimately shite, those expecting a Salah/kdb like career at Arse will be heavily disappointed
The tendency to do things without properly looking up, he was a big culprit for this, especially when dribbling.
That's just not true. You're saying he didn't specifically pick Matic?
Internet is already doing rounds if he'll be a new Salah, KDB, Lukaku of Jose.. Dear Lord. 
We replaced him with a better player.
Mkhitaryan is the definition of a one-season wonder in the very top leagues, has only ever had one statistically elite season in his career, the rest average at best, so people can stop talking about him like he is some world class playmaker, his time at United has made it very clear the Mkhitaryan is not world class. Jesse Lingard is better.
Worth pointing out that he now has more PL assists than Ozil, a player many on here wanted us to bring in this summer. Very similar deficiencies too.
I reckon English football culture places way too much importance on those deficiencies. Most #10s go missing in games when their team isn't playing well, misplace simple passes, break up attacks by overdoing it etc. It's the nature of their role.
I was sad to see him go. We've never had a #10 that was so dynamic before and if we'd found a way to really tap into that, we would've been playing beautiful football much more often.
We saw glimpses of it this season but once his form dropped off Mourinho was ruthless with him. I'd rather he took a different approach but Mkhitaryan himself takes a big share of the responsibility.
However Sanchez vs. Mkhitaryan is a no brainer. In the end I think both teams got a good deal.

Mkhitaryan (2020): “It’s a dream come true. I’ve always wanted to play for Accrington Stanley”.
Not really, only in his first season under Klopp where the entire team was struggling, under Tuchel he performed really well, just think about the amount of creative players who lately Mourinho seems to not take the best of them.
No offence as I've heard it before but we've been hearing this for years now. They really aren't incredible.
Whatever.
I thought he looked class today and although only one game, he seems to be a better fit for Arsenal.
