Henrikh Mkhitaryan Urges Patience With Paul Pogba
Henrikh Mkhitaryan has assured Manchester United fans that there is more to come from him and team-mate Paul Pogba.
Manchester United forward Henrikh Mkhitaryan says Paul Pogba still needs time to adapt to life back at Old Trafford.
Jose Mourinho sanctioned a world-record transfer, initially worth £89.3million, to bring France international Pogba back to the club from Juventus last August.
The 23-year-old has struggled to find consistent form in Mourinho's side, however, and was again a disappointment in United's 0-0 draw with Hull City on Thursday.
But Mkhitaryan believes some critics are expecting too much from the midfielder and insists that it is not easy to cope with the pressure of such a price tag.
"He has a very big potential and I know he is able to do it much better because he is able to do it and he has showed us quite a lot," he told Sky Sports News.
"He needs a little bit more time to adapt because it's not very easy to be worth £89m.
"For him, it is a little bit hard because he is still 23 years old and maybe he is thinking he needs to do more than he's doing but I know with the manager he is going to find the solution to solve it and he's trying to do it already.
"Maybe people are waiting for something extraordinary from him, some miracles, but everyone has to know he's a football player, a human being, so he just has to play the way he can play and he will do better."
