Overview

• Mkhitaryan writes that he and José Mourinho traded crude insults during their time together at Manchester United, quoting both men using the same expletive.
• He says Mourinho ignored him at training but sent nightly messages urging him to leave, writing, “Miki, please go.”
• The breakdown preceded Mkhitaryan’s 2018 move to Arsenal in a swap deal that brought Alexis Sánchez to United.
• The relationship thawed when they reunited at AS Roma, where they hugged on the first day and won the 2022 Europa Conference League together.
• The claims appear in “My Life Always at the Center,” newly published in Italy and reported by SportBild and SPORT1.
