Manchester United transfer move for Henrikh Mkhitaryan nearly done as Borussia Dortmund send officials to England to get transfer over the line
Armenia captain set for a move to Old Trafford to join Jose Mourinho's revolution after United upped their bid
HENRIKH MKHITARYAN'S move to Manchester United looks likely to get over the line after a Borussia Dortmund official jetted to England.
The Armenian playmaker is set to join Jose Mourinho's Old Trafford revolution after United finally upped their bid on the 27-year-old.
Dortmund had offered Mkhitaryan a pay rise, but now in his late 20s, he wants to take a new step in his career and play in the Premier League - despite the lack of Champions League football at Old Trafford next term.
United have a £30million offer on the table and Dort
mund clearly want to get the deal over the line and hash out the payment options.
Respected German journalist Rafael Honigstein tweeted: "Dortmund have sent an official to Manchester, Mkhitaryan deal nearly done."
Once the sum is agreed he can fly in to Carrington and have his Manchester United medical.
Mkhitaryan scored 18 times and had 25 assists last term for Dortmund as they came second to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga and German Cup.
He also netted at Anfield as Thomas Tuchel's side lost 4-3 to the Reds in their Europa League thriller last season.
