Henrikh Mkhitaryan insists he has been given no guarantees over his playing time at Manchester United and admits he doesn’t expect to start every game.

United completed a £26.3 million deal for the Armenia international at the start of July and has made a positive impression in the early stages of pre-season under Jose Mourinho.

Mkhitaryan scored 11 goals and registered 15 assists in 31 Bundesliga appearances last season but the midfielder insists his record and price tag counts for nothing following his move to the Premier league.

“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,” he said.

“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.”
