Henrikh Mkhitaryan pleased to open Manchester United account

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has revealed his delight after scoring his first Manchester United goal in Thursday night's 2-0 victory over Zorya Luhansk in the Europa League.

Mkhitaryan opened the scoring in Odessa as Man United booked their spot in the last-32 stage of the competition, and the Armenian is now targeting goals at Old Trafford after settling into the team.

"In the first half it was a little bit difficult, but in the second half we created space for the wingers and strikers. The most important thing is that we won and we are going through," Mkhitaryan told BT Sport.

"I was waiting for a long time for this goal, but my next goal is to score at Old Trafford as I want to score at home. I will try to do my best to do that."

Man United, who return to Premier League action at home to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday afternoon, will learn their Europa League fate in Monday's draw.
