MANCHESTER, England -- Jose Mourinho does not doubt that Henrikh Mkhitaryan will be a success at Manchester United.It just might take some time.Mkhitaryan, a $33.5 million signing from Borussia Dortmund in July, has not played for United since being substituted at halftime in the 2-1 loss to Manchester City in the Premier League on Sept. 10. He sustained a minor injury on international duty with Armenia in early October but hasnt even been in Uniteds 18-man squad for recent games.Thats some fall in status for a playmaker who had 23 goals and 32 assists for Dortmund last season, was the German leagues player of the year, and was widely touted as one of the shrewdest Premier League signings of the offseason.Mourinho said Friday that Mkhitaryan is not injured, and was just struggling to adjust to the English game.Some players find it very easy, whereas others need more time. They need time to feel the intensity, the aggression, the game without the ball and the competitiveness, Mourinho said.The realities are often different, particularly in terms of the competitiveness. It doesnt matter who you are against, you have to play at the highest level otherwise you will not be able to do it. Micki needs time to become the top player he knows he can be.That is nothing new to Mourinho.He said the same happened with Willian at Chelsea and Angel Di Maria at Real Madrid, in Mourinhos two previous coaching jobs.It happens with defenders, but it is often easier for them to adapt than attackers, Mourinho said. In Mickis case, the process was interrupted by injury, which does not help ... Being out for a month meant he has had to go through the process of getting match-fit, then once he has that he needs the competitive level to do it. We believe him and, sooner or later, there will be no problem.Before that first start for United in the derby, Mkhitaryan appeared three times as a second-half substitute.DeAndre Hunter jersey .

Theyll have to get used to his absence.After months of speculation, Milwaukee reportedly reached agreement on a deal that would send Lucroy, 30, to the Cleveland Indians for a package of prospects including highly touted catcher Francisco Mejia.Milwaukee held Lucroy out of their 5-3 victory Saturday as talks progressed, according to manager Craig Counsell, and news of the agreement broke approximately an hour after the game.Lucroy or not, the Brewers look to finish their season-long 10-game homestead on a high note. Theyve won six of the first nine games and two consecutive series, and a victory Sunday would mark their third series sweep of the season.I dont think its anything different than how weve played all year, Counsell said. Every day is a new day. With all the stuff swirling around, weve talked about distractions and where to put them. Guys have gotten opportunities and made the most of them.Matt Garza (1-4, 5.74 ERA) takes the mound for Milwaukee, making his ninth start of the season and his second of the year against the Pirates, who scored five runs on eight hits over five innings against him on July 21.Garza took no decision his last time out against Arizona but left the game with a 4-3 lead after going six innings and allowing five hits and two walks with a pair of strikeouts but hhes 0-4 with a 7.dddddddddddd.52 ERA over his last five outings.Ive been looking for my stuff throughout this season, Garza said. The last start, I felt I was on the verge of finding it. Im real happy I found it. A lot of the hits were off-speed hits and I learned after that and went back to what Im accustomed to doing, going right after guys.Pittsburgh counters with lefty Francisco Liriano (6-10, 5.38), who is two strikeouts shy of 1,500 for his career.Hes 7-6 with a 4.40 ERA all-time against Milwaukee (17 games, 16 starts) and 1-0 this year after striking out 13 in a 5-3 victory over the Brewers on July 21.Its just one of those nights where youre like, Man, thank God Im not facing him. He was on, said Pirates outfielder Matt Joyce.Milwaukee has been a miserable destination for the Pirates, who are 17-63 at Miller Park since the start of 2007. During that same stretch, the Brewers are 102-56 over Pittsburgh overall, good for the second-best winning percentage of any team against a divisional opponent in all of baseball.But while the Pirates as a team have struggled, Andrew McCutchen has done well, collecting 120 hits against the Brewers since the start of the 2008 season while Josh Harrison has gone 15-for-41 with two triples and five RBI in his last 11 games against Milwaukee.
