Wayne Rooney On Why Henrikh Mhkitaryan Will Thrive At Emirates
Manchester United legend Wayne Rooney insists that Henrikh Mkhitaryan did not have the liberty to thrive at Manchester United.
The Armenian midfielder moved to Arsenal in January in a swap deal with Alexis Sanchez after spending 18 months at Old Trafford where he struggled for game time.
Rooney said he believes that the Emirates is the perfect place for him to showcase his impressive skill after his fine start which saw him register three assists in the 5-1 win over Rooney’s Everton last weekend.
Rooney said:
"I think he is (in a place where he can thrive)."
"I’ve seen it last season in training a lot, he’s a very talented player."
"I think at Manchester United he didn’t get the freedom he really wanted to go and perform which he had at (Borussia) Dortmund."
"It was a different style of play to what Dortmund played."
"At Arsenal I think he will have players around him running off the ball, taking the ball, and he will create goals and he will score goals."
"So I really do think he will kick on."
