Henrikh Mkhitaryan catches the eye of former Man United striker

Manchester United duo Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Romelu Lukaku have been praised by former Red Devils striker Louis Saha, The Express reports.

Manchester United have enjoyed a fine start to the new season, winning their first three Premier League games.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has impressed the fans, with the Armenia international beginning to resemble the player many thought he would be when he signed from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

Lukaku, meanwhile, scored a brace against West Ham and adding another against Swansea.

Saha has credited Mkhitaryan's upturn in form to a better understanding with the Manchester United boss.

"I think Henrikh Mkhitaryan is now more in form because he understands exactly where to go, he has got that understanding with all the players, so yes it is a great combination of getting the actual organisation of Mourinho and the talent that can express themselves in the right moment,” he added.

Also, the former Reds striker was full of praise for Lukaku too.

"He will get better through the season as I think he understands this club is all about winning. Not only games, but trophies. So he will know that he has to keep going and reach 20 to 25 goals, he said.
