Manchester United transfer news: United to land Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan as pair prepare for medicals
Old Trafford chiefs agree fee for Dortmund midfielder whilst Swedish star will undergo a medical next week
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.
He netted over 50 goals last season as PSG romped to the Ligue 1 title and Jose will hope his experience will be key in a title push.
With nine titles in ten seasons, the Swedish superstar certainly fits the pedigree and is a signal of intent from the Special One.
He will fly over to Manchester next week once personal terms are agreed to complete a medical.
The pair will become Mourinho's second and third signing's after the capture of Eric Bailly.
