HENRIKH "NWOKEOMA" MHKHITARYAN : THE JOURNEY FROM Mikhitar-YAM TO MAGIC-MICKHI

This time one year ago, Jose "Uchenna" Mourinho snapped up Henrikh  "Nwokeoma" Mhkhitaryan from Borrusia Dortmund.


His Manchester United journey started with lots of gallops and
pot-holes. His first start unfortunately was in the Manchester derby. It was awful - one to forget. United Fans and "bad-bele" rivals alike echoed 'Who be this Yam wey Mourinho don buy wey dem De call Mikhitar-YAM'?


Soon, the Armenian established himself as a "Dibia", a magician with his dazzling skills and awesome finishing, thrilling fans especially with his awesome magical goals.

SCORPION KICK aka REVERSE "SHANGALO'
Against Sunderland, Mikhi connected a sweet cross from Zlatan  into the net with a scorpion kick, which we call in Naija, reverse 'Shangalo'.....He thus got the nickname SCORPION KING.



OVERHEAD KICK aka 'SHANGALO'.
Against Ajax in the Europa league final, the Magical Armenian popped up again, this time with an beautiful overhead kick which we call in Naija, 'Shangalo'. There was no better way to win the Europa league as that was the winning goal.


MONKEY POST GOAL.
Against Zorya, Mikhi dazzled fans, by dribbling Zorya midfielders and defenders before scoring a fantastic goal. It brought back memories of Naija monkey post football where one player dribbles everybody and finally scores......Amazing.


The Armenian captain also had wonderful on-pitch 'chemistry,Physics and Biology' with Juan Mata, resulting in Tiki-Taka being renamed Mikhi-Mata.



He ended the season with a return of 11 goals, and won the United goal of the season award.....As we prepare for the upcoming season, we pray for more Groundnut oil to his elbow. GLORY GLORY MAN UNITED
