It was definitely not the salary that made me join Manchester United; I went for football reasons - for the history of the club, the league, the fans, and the coach because he is one of the best in the world.
From Henrikh Mkhitaryan
There is not much sun, but I didn't move to Manchester to go to the beach.
I like to win the difficulties, because when you win the difficulties, it makes you stronger, so I'm trying to do everything to come up to a new level.
I like to play attacking, like a winger, or an attacking midfielder, so it depends on the coach, where he's looking at me for which position.
If you play football, you have to try to do the maximum, so I'm always doing the maximum for myself because, after my football career, I want to sit down and think I did something good.
I always wanted to become a football player, and I thank my parents, as they helped me so much to realise this dream. They always supported me on my path.
Not so many Armenian players are given the chance to play in the Champions League, and this is really important for me, because I want to do everything to impress the children who are watching me playing.
Every person has to keep in mind that they can grow up and reach the top, no matter where they are born, whether it's in Russia, in Ukraine, in Europe; they've still got the opportunity to show their talent and the culture of their people.
I am very excited - it's a big opportunity for me to play for Manchester United, a new challenge for me. I will try to do my best.
I really enjoy my life in Manchester, my training, my games, everything.
