The Armenian,
returning from injury, brought the house down at Old Trafford with a stunning
piece of improvisation that his manager Jose Mourinho called 'phenomenal'.
Mkhitaryan flicked
up his right heel to connect with Zlatan Ibrahimovic's cross for United's third
goal.
He said: 'I had a
great feeling. It was a little Christmas magic - the best I've ever scored.
'I was very
excited. The first thing I did was look at the assistant and I saw it was not
ruled as offside so I just started to celebrate.
'I was expecting
the ball to be in front of me and then I realised I was in front of it.
'As the ball was
behind me, the only thing I could do was a backheel so I did that and I
succeeded.'
