Henrikh Mkhitaryan has said that Jose Mourinho once blamed him for the criticism he gets from the press during their time at Manchester United.

Mkhitaryan who is currently on loan at AS Roma from Arsenal left Manchester United in a deal that saw Alexis Sanchez cross over to Old Trafford from the Emirates Stadium.

Speaking in an interview, the Armenian stated that he relishes his time at Manchester United but doesn't regret not renewing his contract with the club.

“Once Mourinho saw me at breakfast and said to me: ‘Because of you, the press criticises me’. I replied: ‘Really, mister? I’m not doing it on purpose’,” Mkhitaryan is quoted saying.

“I didn’t want to waste time and play football. Playing for Manchester United is still a once in a lifetime chance. Entering the pitch together with Ibrahimovic, Pogba, Mata, De Gea. If I had to go back in time, I would have renewed the contract with the Red Devils. But I don’t regret what I did.”
