Henrikh Mkhitaryan has told Manchester United fans to expect an "amazing" team next season as the Jose Mourinho era begins - and says he is yet to reach his full potential.
Mkhitaryan completed his move to Old Trafford on Wednesday from Borussia Dortmund, where he had a hand in 49 goals - scoring 23 and assisting 26 - over 52 appearances last season.
The Armenian will join forces with fellow new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic in his debut campaign in the Premier League and believes United are primed to be a force to be reckoned with once more.
"I think this year the team is going to be amazing and it will be a pleasure for me to play next to [Wayne Rooney and Ibrahimovic]," the 27-year-old told MUTV.
"Everyone knows that [the Premier League] is one of the biggest championships in the world and I'm very happy to be part of it.
"I'm very excited. It's a big opportunity for me to play for Manchester. It's a new challenge for me, I think I will try to do all my best.
"For me, this is not the highest point that I can reach. I think I can go further and I'm very happy for that because I think I did everything right in my life and I'm going step by step forward."
Asked how key Mourinho was in his decision to swap the Bundesliga for the Premier League, the attacking midfielder said: "It was one of the [reasons] that I choose Manchester, but also the team because it's one of the biggest clubs in the world, so I couldn't reject the offer and I'm very pleased to be here."
