Henrikh Mkhitaryan

When I returned to Armenia after four months in Brazil, I was still quite skinny and weak, but I had technique and skill.

I can be very serious, but if I'm being honest, I'm very happy with the way my life has turned out.

I don't want to miss anything. Life's too short to pass on something.

I remember once Manchester United were ahead of Manchester City by eight points and ended up losing it, so everything is possible in this life.

You cannot always have good times in your life.

It would be fair to say that the start of my life in Manchester was not perfect, but there have been many other times when I've had setbacks, and I have never given up.

I did not want to later look back in my life and say, 'Why would you not make times change?'

Brazil was a very good experience. I learned a lot about how to play football, both technical and physical. There would be a hundred kids of all ages, training and doing classes together.

I really enjoy my life in Manchester, my training, my games, everything.

When we're leading during the game, we have to squeeze the opponent.

I never give up when I encounter obstacles in my way. I just continue going until I reach my career objectives.

It's not called the Theatre of Dreams for nothing.
