Henrikh Mkhitaryan is spotted looking less-than-impressed at Old Trafford
Mkhitaryan is edging closer to joining Arsenal as Manchester United look to finalise a move for Alexis Sanchez.
Reports suggest the Armenian winger could head to the Emirates as a makeweight in any deal for Sanchez, and Jose Mourinho has fuelled speculation by dropping him from the team against Stoke.
Mkhitaryan travelled to Old Trafford alongside his Manchester United team-mates this evening and had been hoping to feature against the Potters.
However, Mourinho has omitted him from the squad and it seems the 28-year-old could have played his last match for the Red Devils.
"I would lie if I said it was a pure tactical decision," Mourinho said.
"It was just a choice of the players that we know, in this moment, they have 100 per cent their heads in Manchester United.

"No doubts about the future. I don't think it's easy for a player to play when there are doubts about his future.
"It's added pressure that a player doesn't need, so I think it's the best for him and for us, while the doubt is in the air, to protect him."
