He also has a habit of freezing players out or just selling them. Kevin de Bruyne, Salah and Lukaku are all players he didn't rate and/or let go. Mata too.
I am not sure about Mkhitaryan either but Mourinho's view of players is unpredictable. I don't he has shown a particular talent for spotting which of his young players are worth keeping, or much interest in younger players at all, or for hidden gems. Sanchez is a obvious buy.
Mkhitaryan did well at Dortmund. Hopefully Arsenal get something out of him. I am not too bothered that United let him go though.
