Henrikh Mkhitaryan returned to the line-up for Manchester United last night, and the summer signing provided the club’s only scoring in United’s 1-1 draw at FC Rostov. The Armenian National Team captain came back from injury to start in Jose Mourinho’s first team in the Europa League round of 16 and helped propel his team a 1-1 draw.
Although obviously not the optimal result, they do have a crucial away goal now, which will be advantageous towards advancing to the round of eight.
At this link you can see the footage of the Mkhitaryan brace.
On Friday Mkhitaryan was awarded the February goal of the month in a poll on United’s official website. Thus completed a hat trick of awards for Mkhitaryan, which attracted the attention of his former Borussia Dortmund teammate Mats Hummels, and thus ignited a fun Twitter back and forth.

Come on, it's like the 8th time you win this. Do they even nominate other players or do you just decide which goal you want to win with? https://t.co/ivun2YwCde

The two former BVB mates had a good rejoinder there, for all of us in the public to eye. Good times.
