JOSE MOURINHO is close to landing his two main targets Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Manchester United have agreed a fee in the region of £26.3million for Mkhitaryan, 27, whilst Ibrahimovic, 35, looks set to complete his lengthy transfer saga when undergoing a medical next week.
The Armenian ace has a year left on his contract at Dortmund but Mourinho has been desperate to bring the playmaker in to add some much needed goal-threat from midfield.
Last night SunSport revealed how Dortmund officials had arrived in Manchester to thrash out a deal, after United finally caved in to the attacking midfielder's asking price.
With 18 goals and had 25 assists last term, Jose was determined to land his man despite the German side holding out for £30m.
As for Ibra, the Swede failed to shine in a disappointing Euro 2016 but has been linked to United ever since Mourinho took the reigns.
