Man Utd to sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Armenian international Henrikh Mkhitaryan is days away from joining Manchester United after Borussia Dortmund sent their representatives to wrap up the transfer agreement.

The Red Devils have been hot on the trail of the 27-year-old in recent weeks amid reports that the player is desperate to make a switch to Old Trafford.

Sky Sports News claims that United have the deal in their hands with Dortmund having settled on a £26.3m sum for the proposed move.

BVB are thought to have come to this decision following Mkhitaryan's reluctance to extend his contract beyond next season.

Mkhitaryan, who was previously on the radar of Chelsea and Arsenal, played a key role alongside Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last term as BVB finished ten points off German champions Bayern Munich.
