Report: Mkhitaryan not moving to Spartak; Krasnodar managing post an option

Roma midfielder and captain of the Armenian national team Henrikh Mkhitaryan is not considering FC Spartak Moscow as his next haven, Tuttosport reports.

According to Match TV, the Armenia international's priority in the next year and a half is Serie A, and Spartak is reportedly aware of Mkhitaryan's position on moving to Moscow.

Krasnodar could be another stop for the midfielder, as the president of the club, Sergei Galitsky, allegedly sees him in one of the managing positions.

Mkhitaryan spent 18 months under coach Jose Mourinho at United between 2016 and 2018 before leaving for Arsenal in a swap deal for Alexis Sanchez after falling out of favour with the Portuguese boss. After struggling at Arsenal, the Armenian moved to Serie A with Roma where he has spent the last season-and-a-half and has now been joined by Mourinho after he was sacked by Tottenham in April.
