YEREVAN (Manchester United)—Armenian National team’s captain and Manchester United midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan was named on Wednesday Armenia’s Player of the Year for the seventh time, according to the official website of the Football Federation of Armenia.
The 27-year-old impressively earned 245 points out of a possible 250 to claim the award ahead of second-placed Gevorg Ghazaryan of Maritimo and third-placed Marcos Pizelli of Al-Fujeira.
It is also the sixth year in a row that Mkhitaryan has won the prize, extending a reign that began as a Shakhtar Donetsk player (2011, 2012) and continued with his former club Borussia Dortmund (2013, 2014, 2015). He first claimed it in 2009 with Pyunik Yerevan and 2010 is the only year he has not won it since.
“I feel honored to have won my seventh Armenian Player of the Year award,â€
