Mkhitaryan then picked-up an ankle injury from a tackle from Danny Rose, but should be back for United's game against Sunderland at home on December 26.
Fans of the club will be hoping it doesn't take long for him to find his form again.
According to The Times, the reason why Mkhitaryan found himself back in Mourinho's plans in recent weeks was down to a weight-training programme approved by the United manager.
