In a major derby, a former Man United player delivers a fantastic performance

The first Milan derby of the 23/24 season was won by Inter Milan, 5-1, and it was a full and total rout by the home team.

Inter improved to 3-0 on the season with the victory, while Milan fell to 1-2 and into third place, below Juventus.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan, once of Manchester United, was instrumental, turning in a man-of-the-match performance in Rome.In Derby della Madonnina, the Armenian was a miracle worker. In the fifth minute, the 34-year-old scored the game’s first goal, setting the tone for the rest of the contest.

Marcus Thuram, a forward for Manchester United, extended their lead until Rafael Leao of Portugal scored an equalizer.

Mkhitaryan scored twice, and his third goal effectively ended the contest. Then, Hakan Calhanoglu scored from the penalty spot, and David Fratessi made it five (with an assist from Mkhi) to seal the deal.Matteo Darmian, an ex-Red Ԁevil, also played, but Alexis Sanchez was forced to sit on the bench and watch the rout.

Strategy by the numbers: MkhitaryanThe following is a statistical rundown of Mkhitaryan’s match-winning effort in the local derby.

2 tallys, 1 helperPassing percentage: 34/38I won seven of nine matches to get MOTM.Clearly, there is still a tremendous player there, despite his advanced years.

In his time with Manchester United, he stood out as an odd duck. Mkhi had flashes of brilliance, like the scorpion kιck, but he also had spells where he disappeared completely.

Once thought to be a bit undersized for the Premier League, his career seems to be reviving in Italy. Well done!
