Armenian midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan insists that he will have to work hard to secure a regular spot in the Manchester United selection.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan has insisted that he will have to work hard to secure a regular spot in the Manchester United team.

The Armenian international joined the Red Devils from Borussia Dortmund this summer and has impressed in his first two outings for the Premier League club - netting in his second appearance against Dortmund on July 22.

Jose Mourinho is expected to make the 27-year-old a key part of his first XI next season, but the Armenian is not expecting any privileges as he bids to win a first-team spot at Old Trafford.

"It doesn't matter if they buy me for, I don't know, €38m or €40m, I am not guaranteed to play the games, so I am trying to do my best during the training to earn this place to play and then we will see. I don't think I will play every game, depending on the tactical situation, depending on the opponent, but I will do everything to try and help the team," he told reporters.

Man United will return to pre-season action against Galatasaray in Sweden on Saturday night.
