Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan insists he didn’t join the Red Devils for the money.

Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has been a vocal critic of the Armenian international captain’s move to the Premier League club in the summer, calling it “strange” back in October, while fans have also labelled Mkhitaryan greedy.

“I can not understand that, and that’s wrong,” Mkhitaryan told Bild, when asked about moving for the money.

“If it were just about money, I would have transferred from Shakhtar Donetsk to Anzhi Makhachkala and not to Borussia Dortmund. But I did not want that. I wanted to develop further.”

Note that the 28-year-old midfielder has made 21 appearances, scoring 5 goals and making 4 assists during this season.
