Despite being declared fit and ready to go by the Manchester United boss, the Armenian international is not set to feature in his side's Europa League tie at Old Trafford this evening.
Mkhitaryan, signed for £27m from Borussia Dortmund over the summer, has only started once for United and made another four appearances off the bench. He picked up an injury on international duty and has not featured for his new club for over a month.
