very proud to join Manchester
United, this move is a dream come
true for me. I am excited to play
for a club with such an illustrious
history and hope to be part of it for
a long time. I thank the trust the
club and Jose Mourinho have put in
me. Finally, I believe playing for
such a great club honours my
father’s memory, and the
inspiration and drive he gave to
me when I was young.”



José Mourinho said:-

“Henrikh is a very talented
footballer who has been in such
prolific form for both his club and
his country. He is a real team
player with great skill, vision and
also has a good eye for goal.

I am delighted he has chosen to
sign for United. I believe he will
make an impact on the team very
quickly as his style of play is suited
to the Premier League. We are all
looking forward to working with
him.”
