Regulation gone mad! Why Mkhitaryan Man Utd career had slow start

Published on: 26 February 2017

Manchester United ace Henrikh Mkhitaryan battled to make an early impression at the club due to a missing lifeguard!

He was hit by injury concerns during his first few months with the 20-time top flight champions though.

Yahoo Sports says a strange element of bureaucracy may have prevented Mkhitaryan from getting back to full fitness as quickly as he would have liked.

They say Jose Mourinho was told that his big-money buy would not be allowed to continue his rehabilitation out-of-hours if a lifeguard wasn't available to oversee pool recovery sessions at Manchester United's training ground.

That situation may then have been one reason why Mkhitaryan did not make his full Premier League debut until September 10.
