ARSENAL star Henrikh Mkhitaryan seems to have no problem with Arsene Wenger leaving the Emirates and Unai Emery replacing the Frenchman just months on from his arrival at the club.

Mkhitaryan, 29, joined Arsenal from Manchester United during the January transfer window in a swap deal which saw Alexis Sanchez head in the opposite direction.
The Armenia international scored three goals and provided five assists in his 17 appearances under Wenger over the following five months.
Wenger, the man who will have played a key role in luring Mkhitaryan to Arsenal, decided to call time on his spell in north London in May though.
And Emery was promptly appointed as the legendary gaffer’s successor, having left Paris Saint-Germain at the end of last season.

"I appreciate people that want to try and help Arsenal achieve more because I know Arsenal is a team that has to be playing in the Champions League and is a team that has to fight for trophies in England.
"What we’re trying to do is to bring the Arsenal level back."
Mkhitaryan has scored once and assisted one goal in four Premier League appearances under Emery.
And he’ll be eager to make his mark once again when Arsenal return to action this weekend.
The Gunners will be looking to follow up wins over West Ham and Cardiff by beating Newcastle on Saturday.
