Manchester United are not just some club. To be part of this club also means to be part of a great history.
When I was six years old, my parents told me that we were moving back home to Armenia. I didn't really understand what was happening. My father had stopped playing football, and he was at home all the time.
I know I can succeed at Manchester United, and I want to show everyone that I deserve to be a key player in this team and this league.
Manchester United are not just any football club.
It's always important to read, to know something about this world, so I try to learn, to know, to see what I can learn for myself. Be it from books, TV or the Internet, I try to know what happened in the world.
I can be very serious, but if I'm being honest, I'm very happy with the way my life has turned out.
You have to win every battle. Every small metre counts, and you have to win your duels. Then you will see you will win the game.
There is not much sun, but I didn't move to Manchester to go to the beach.
When I came first to Dortmund, Jurgen Klopp said, 'Listen, Mkhitaryan, it's your family name - it's too long. So Henrikh, it's too long. Let's call you Micki. Are you okay?' I said, 'Okay, no problem.' And since that day, they started calling me Micki.
I never promise something; I always say that I will try. Because if you promise something and you don't do it, you will always be under pressure.
You have to try and do everything to show your best qualities; otherwise, you will not be here anymore.
I want to do everything to get to a new level.
English football is really different to football in other countries.
As tough as it was for us with my father gone, my mother and sister were always pushing me. They even let me go to Brazil by myself when I was 13 to train with Sao Paulo for four months.
I dreamed of being like Kaka, and Brazil was the home of that creative style, which the Brazilians call ginga.
The Brazilians are amazing in their nature. You cannot describe it; you must feel that warmth when you're around them to understand.
When I returned to Armenia after four months in Brazil, I was still quite skinny and weak, but I had technique and skill.
I think the first goal can be weight off your shoulders.
I went a long way to play in Manchester United, so nothing will prevent me from achieving my dream.
I will not retreat; I will find the strength to reach my goal.
