Henrikh Mkhitaryan admits Nemanja Matic surprise

16 August 2017 - 08:02

Manchester United attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan has revealed that he was surprised to see Nemanja Matic make the move from league rivals Chelsea.

  • Chelsea set to hold talks with £22m winger
  • Chelsea set for contract talks with £26m star

  • The Serbia international joined the Red Devils on July 31st after they finalised a £40m fee with the Premier League holders.

    In a report covered by Sky Sports News, the Armenian admitted that he was quite shocked upon Matic's arrival, but he is 'very happy' to have him around the squad, he said: "Actually, I am, but at the same time I am very happy that we have got him."

    Matic had a stormer of a league debut for United last weekend as he put in a man-of-the-match in the 4-0 thumping of West Ham United.

    Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku also shined in the Premier League opener as he introduced himself to the club's faithful with a brace.

    Victor Lindelof, was however, excluded from the matchday squad, with Jose Mourinho insisting that his defender needs time to adapt to Premier League football.
