Manchester United has officially confirmed the signing of Armenian attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The 27-year old’s former club Borussia Dortmund had already made the announcement last Saturday.
Jose Mourinho’s transfer policy at Manchester United has been nothing short of impressive. He had already signed Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and has now roped in highly-rated attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Portuguese coach is eyeing immediate success, and by the look of the things, he is taking giant leaps in order to achieve his goal.

Here’s how Twitter reacted to Mkhitaryan’s signing:
Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan both had other options. But sign for Man United because of Jose Mourinho. Serious pulling power.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan will become the 18th Premier League player with “kh” in his name; but the first to have it feature twice.
— Ryan Keaney (@RyanKeaney) July 6, 2016
Mkhitaryan has had about 18 medicals. They must keep getting his name wrong ? #mufc

Henrik Mkhitaryan signs for United! Now to work out how to pronounce his name…

So glad to see Henrikh Mkhitaryan sign for Man Utd, if only because it’s finally allowed me to discover how to pronounce his name.
— Peter Chapman (@colossalblue) July 6, 2016
Utd fans must be struggling to spell Mkhitaryan’s name. When #LFC rumoured to sign him 3 yrs ago, somebody taught me “MK hit a Ryan”.
— Piang Shankly (@PiangShankly) July 6, 2016
So now I’m forced to learn to spell Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s name instead of typing in ‘Hen Mki’ to Google.
