Mkhitaryan: ‘Amazing season’ if Man United win treble

Henrikh Mkhitaryan claims that Manchester United will have had an “amazing” season if they add the Europa League to the League Cup and the Community Shield.

Somebody has clearly told the Armenian that the Community Shield counts as a trophy so he believes United are on the verge of winning a treble.

Jose Morinho’s United have finished the season in sixth place and need to beat Ajax next week to secure Champions League football next season.

“We want to win and have to win, for us it is very important to win this trophy, and also the opportunity to play in the Champions League because Manchester United are not the team who has to play three years in a row in the Europa League,” Mkhitaryan told Sky Sports.

“It’s going to be one of the most important games in my life. I don’t want to lose this opportunity. I am only thinking of winning that game, I know we are able to win, and I know it will be a big pleasure to win it.

“If we are going to win the Europa League final it will be an amazing season for us, because have already won two trophies, and this one would be the third one.”
