Mkhitaryan signs and Zlatan proves he’s already the strongest player at Manchester United

Conor Heneghan

It’s been a good couple of days for Manchester United fans.

Following on from the confirmation of the arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic on Friday, Manchester United bolstered their squad further on Saturday with the signing of Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund.

The Bundesliga club confirmed the move on Saturday afternoon, with the Armenian becoming Jose Mourinho’s third signing of the summer following the captures of Zlatan and Ivory Coast defender Eric Bailly.

Zlatan, meanwhile, is already making an impression at Old Trafford, with the club confirming that the Swede, who will turn 35 in October, broke power records during his medical on Friday.

Zlatan has always been in phenomenal condition throughout his career and this provides further proof that his physical power isn’t diminishing just yet.

Premier League defenders be warned; attempting to ‘rough him up a bit’ might not be the best course of action next season.
