I would have thought even Mikhi's biggest fans would work out that a game against one of the best teams on form in the league right now would not be the right game to have him involved when the fact he hasnt played for Utd in ages is taken into account. It simply wouldnt be fair on him or even sensible.
 
Not as cute as people deciding we'll definitely sell a 30m player after just one league start.
If by "not as cute" you actually mean "way more cute" I agree with you. I wish I shared your optimism, but anyone who thinks he'll have any sort of sizeable impact at the club is as clueless as Marcus Rashford when trying to stop a cross.
 
Bizarre thing is that most of our wide options are poor currently. Mata is playing well, but Rashford, Martial and Memphis are three players who all do want to do the same thing, but are currently not successful at it. We've even got a fourth right-footed left-sided forward in Young!

You'd think Mkhi would be a great complement to Pogba, Mata and Zlatan and the type of attacking football they are developing.

Memphis has been given similar amounts of minutes as Mickey I think.. both deserves to start the next game
 
This thread is like an orange that has been squeezed to its last pulp. Nothing new is going to happen with this guy, and now we all know not to expect him to play. It's not a surprise anymore.

Off to Milan on loan in January then sold in the summer for about £9m.
 
Looking forward to the big game in Germany tonight. Would like to see Miki go back to Dortmund in the summer if he didnt burn his bridges there
 
Should have been the perfect game for him no? No idea idea what is going on behind the scenes but I would hate to think that the Bundesliga player of the season is an utter dud for us? bizarre. Again just looks like another signing between managerial changes before the squad and tactics have been figured out.
 
He's clearly annoyed Jose a lot, something has clearly gone on behind closed doors. Mkhitrayan either gets his head down and he'll get his chance or he acts up and he'll be moved on.
 
I don't think Miki is going to be playing for us in any meaningful capacity.
I think he'll be gone within a few months. Shame really.

I've wasted a lot of effort learning to spell and pronounce his name. I feel cheated.

LOL.
Do what the rest of us do. Call him...Miki. ;)

well...we've had 'duds' before...and no doubt we will again....

Probably true but I also think the press and fans are over playing it. I think Mou is being cautious rather than malicious. He sees the value in brining Mkhi up to speed gradually and having him get up to speed for the run in and next year.
 
Something that might play a role here is that it has been reported that Mourinho wanted more players, so maybe Mkhi was part of a plan that Mourinho can't accomplish for the moment. Or he doesn't rate him.

Mourinho said at the start of the season that he had identified the positions that needed filling before he was installed as manager, and gave a few options to the board for each position he needed filling. Mourinho said this on multiple occasions; that he was delighted with the business we did and that it met his expectations. No idea what the issue is but I don't think it's because Miki wasn't his choice.

You mean to say we're saving him for next season?

All leads to a meltdown from mkhi at half time against city. Lots of reports said he didn't take Jose shouting at him well and demanded he must be sold in january. Really odd situation.
 
Its like he's not a United player. I didn't even think about him when I saw the lineup against Arsenal
