Henrikh Mkhitaryan declared fit for Manchester United

Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho has revealed that Henrikh Mkhitaryan is available for Saturday's Manchester derby with Manchester City at Old Trafford.

The summer signing from Borussia Dortmund had been an injury doubt after suffering a thigh problem on international duty with Armenia and on Tuesday, the attacker admitted that he was 'unsure' if he would make this weekend's match.

Mourinho, however, has passed the 27-year-old fit for the key clash in Manchester, in addition to confirming that Luke Shaw and Marouane Fellaini are both available.

"He is available. I'm not saying he's ready to play 90 minutes but he's ready to try to help us," Mourinho told MUTV.

"It's not the same as if we were here all week and working, resting and not travelling, but there are no injuries and everybody has returned safely and on time for at least one training session. Everybody is ready and wants to play, of course."

Mkhitaryan is yet to start a Premier League match for Man United.
