Roma star has no regrets about joining Manchester United

Roma midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan will back to Old Trafford tomorrow to face his former team in the Europa League semi-final.

We’re the only club in Italy left in Europe,

Mkhitaryan

told The Athletic.

“We’re playing three games a week and our opponents are only playing once. But we’re not complaining. We know there are only three games left (in the Europa League) so we have to fight and get the best out of ourselves. If we win the trophy we can qualify for the Champions League automatically,”

he added

.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan played under some of the most victorious coaches in football like Jurgen Klopp, José Mourinho, and Thomas Tuchel. Jurgen Klopp coached him at Borussia Dortmund and taught him something valuable.

Klopp was more friendly with the players. He was more like a psychologist and tried to give you confidence even if you played badly or made mistakes. At that time, I had sad behaviour. When I was playing bad I was closing myself (off), I was not talking to anyone,

” Mkhitaryan  said.

“I felt guilty that we lost a game or played badly because of my mistake. I was putting pressure on myself but Klopp made me understand that football is about 11 players, it’s the team that wins or loses. It’s not about one player. You can make mistakes, no one is safe from mistakes. That’s part of life, so he helped me take the pressure off myself a lot and to always think positive.

“Paulo Fonseca’s a bit similar to Tuchel in that he’s trying to put players in the right position and giving them the freedom to enjoy their football.”

I never regret my decisions,”

the 32-year-old claimed

“At that time, he [Mourinho] was one of the most successful coaches in the world.

“I think he was the coach with the most trophies. So that was a different experience. It was very hard but I learned a lot as well. I learned how to defend, how to help the team.”

The Armenia international has netted 11 times and provided 11 assists in 39 appearances across all competitions with Roma this season.
