Whisper it, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan is finally starting to prove why Manchester United spent £30m to bring him to the Premier League this summer.

The Armenian joined for big money from Borussia Dortmund, but then did his best invisible man impression for the best part of four months as Jose Mourinho mysteriously refused to play him. But in the last few weeks he's started nudging his way into the side and away at Ukrainian side Zorya in the Europa League he finally opened United goalscoring account with this great effort: https://twitter.com/AllUnitedGoals/status/806939676280057856 And the United fans were loving it: https://twitter.com/Farman_Bond007/status/806940975000154112 https://twitter.com/GOATIAL/status/806940954544345092 https://twitter.com/Football2017lad/status/806938519562309637 https://twitter.com/Nabil_Ahhmed/status/806940845672960000 https://twitter.com/registability/status/806938438540914688 https://twitter.com/ForzaMundial/status/806943490781261824 https://twitter.com/AdamGray1250/status/806939193985433604 https://twitter.com/armaan_4/status/806938522707959810 'Adrian' might be getting a little carried away though: https://twitter.com/regobass/status/806940915457724416 Mind you, up until that point the game was hardly a classic... https://twitter.com/FootyHumour/status/806939441189318657 Helped by his goal and Moussa Sow's overhead strike for Fenerbahce agains Feyenoord in the other Group A tie, Manchester United look to be going safely through to the next round. Diarmuid Connolly makes his long overdue GAA Hour debut and talks to Colm Parkinson about everything from the black card to his rivalry with Lee Keegan and how he honed the ability to kick accurately with either foot.
