World News – USA – Henrikh Mkhitaryan hits absolute rocket for Roma against Parma

In the 2015/16 season the Armenian was at the peak of his strength at Borussia Dortmund and assisted more than any other player in the Bundesliga.

The playmaker was appointed to the German top team of the year and moved to Manchester United.

His time at Old Trafford is best remembered for that phenomenal, if slightly aloof, Scorpio kick against Sunderland.

There was never any doubt that he was of real quality and had all the makings of a top player, but under Jose Mourinho he just wasn’t consistent enough.

Mkhitaryan then became part of the swap deal that brought Alexis Sanchez to United from Arsenal. The less that is said about this business, the better for everyone involved.

After one roundabout, the 31-year-old is now with Roma, where he already has an impressive season with three goals and four assists in Serie A..

At the time of writing, the Giallorossi are only one point away from the top of the table thanks to an excellent performance against Parma.

The Roma took the lead by three goals in the first half. Borja Mayoral opened the scoring, but it was Mkhitaryan’s brace that really put the game out of reach. In addition, his first target was an absolute missile.

For some reason, a man who had the potential to destroy English football only scored 13 goals in the Premier League.
