Henrikh Mkhitaryan looks happy as Manchester United prepare for Stoke… as Arsenal target Anthony Martial turns up late at Lowry Hotel
The duo have been linked with a switch to the Gunners, as Alexis Sanchez closes in on a move to the Red Devils
MANCHESTER UNITED ace Henrikh Mkhitaryan was all smiles as he arrived at the Lowry Hotel, as Anthony Martial turned up late in a taxi on his own.
Jose Mourinho's men are preparing to face Stoke at Old Trafford on Monday night, and had looked set to be without the Arsenal target.
The Frenchman has been linked with a switch to replace Alexis Sanchez at the Emirates, with Arsene Wenger looking for the 22-year-old to be included in any potential deal.
Martial has been in and out of the United side this season, but has still managed to chip in with ten goals and five assists in all competitions.
But Gunners fans shouldn't get too carried away, as the ex-Monaco winger arrived fashionably late after undergoing a fitness test after picking up a knock last week.
Armenian international Mkhitaryan is also on Wenger's radar, after the Frenchman failed to bring him to North London when he left Borussia Dortmund in 2016.
United are poised to bring Sanchez to the Theatre of Dreams in a £35million, after rivals Manchester City reportedly pulled out of the race to sign him.
The Chilean star is in line to be handed the vacant No 7 shirt, as Mourinho looks to make him the main man.

The futures of both Martial and Mkhitaryan could be further up for debate as Paris Saint-Germain forward Lucas Moura revealed his intentions to leave the club.
While Cristiano Ronaldo has reportedly told friends he is seeking a move back to his former stomping ground.
