Mkhitaryan, who scored 19 goals and added 24 assists last season, is expected to complete a move to Old Trafford this week after Dortmund announced on Saturday that he would be leaving.

Jose Mourinho has moved quickly to strengthen his squad with the Portuguese expected to mount a challenge at the Premier League title next season.

Mkhitaryan will become the third player to arrive at Old Trafford this summer, with Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic already on the way.
