Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has claimed that Henrikh Mkhitaryan we always be remembered fondly at Old Trafford.

The 29-year-old secured a move to Arsenal on Monday evening as part of a swap deal that sent Alexis Sanchez to the North-West outfit.

Mkhitaryan was only midway through his second season at United when he was offloaded, but the winger struggled to sustain a regular place in Mourinho's team.

The Armenian international had moments of joy in a United shirt, one in particular was scoring in the Red Devils' Europa League final win over Sevilla last season.

"I would like to wish Henrikh all the success and happiness that I am sure he is going to get," Mourinho told United's official website. "He is a player that we will not forget, especially for his contribution to our Europa League victory."

Mkhitaryan started just 11 Premier League matches for United this season.
