Manchester United manager Jose Mourinho has expressed his displeasure over questions on Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s exclusion from the side that defeated Newcastle 4-1 in the Premier League at Old Trafford at the weekend.
Mourinho stated this in Tuesday’s pre-match press conference ahead of United’s trip to Basel in Group A.
Mkhitaryan left out of the side that came from behind to beat the Magpies with the likes of Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial preferred instead.
“There is always a question about someone who is not playing or is not in the best form,” Mourinho said.
“There are no questions about Anthony Martial and no questions about Chris Smalling.
“There are always questions about somebody in a certain moment, a certain match and a certain period that didn’t play. The story is always the same.
