Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s agent Raiola, who negotiated the £27m switch to Old Trafford, says he was always convinced his man had what it took to succeed in the English game, reports.

Mino Raiola says the new “more aggressive” Henrikh Mkhitaryan is primed to take the Premier League by storm.

The Armenian, a £27million signing from Borussia Dortmund this summer, struggled to adapt earlier this season with boss Jose Mourinho preferring others in his place.

But the Manchester United manager has turned to the 27-year-old in recent weeks and Mlkhitaryan has repaid his faith with a string of impressive performances.

And agent Raiola, who negotiated the switch to Old Trafford, says he was always convinced his man had what it took to succeed in the English game.

“He showed his class in Germany,” he told talkSPORT . “But now I see a more aggressive, determined player than in Germany. Now he has this aggressiveness that the Premier League needs.

“I knew Micki could come in and be one of the best in the Premier League. He showed that in Ukraine, in Germany.

“I see that now Manchester United is coming together. It is getting balanced.”
