Manchester United Close in on Henrikh Mkhitaryan, star to undergo medical this week

The Dortmund attacker is set to undergo medical this week after a £26.3m fee was agreed with Borussia Dortmund, according to Sky Sports News.
With the  rejection of a new four-year deal on offer at Dortmund, the 27year-old who is about to enter the final 12 months of his contract set sight on Old Trafford.

Dortmund publicly refused bids for their star, however, constantly claiming he will not leave Signal Iduna Park until his contract is up next summer.

The Armenian international’s agent, Mino Raiola, appeared to put pressure on Dortmund after telling the media last week that his client favors a move to Manchester United.

Mkhitaryan becomes the third player sold by the Bundesliga giant following the likes of Mats Hummel and Gundogan, both players sold to Bayern Munich and Manchester City respectively.

Mkhitaryan had a great season after scoring 23 times and assisting 32 goals last season, he was named as the Bundesliga Players’ Player of the Season. So he'll be a magnificent signing for United who lack creativity in attack.

Their heated exchanges over Obama’s legacy reflected how the President has b...

Oscar Pistorius Will Be Sentenced for Murder After Dismissal of his Appeal

A lawyer for Oscar Pistorius says South Africa’s highest court has dismissed the former track star’s appeal of his murder conviction. The ruling by the Constitutional Court on Thursday clears the way for a judge to sentence Pistorius for murder at a hearing scheduled for April 18. Defense lawyer Andrew Fawcett confirmed the Constitutional Court’s decision and said: “We’ll proceed to the sentencing.” Pistorius, who killed girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in his home in 2013, had appealed to the Constitutional Court, saying another court erred when it overturned a manslaughter conviction and declared the Olympic athlete guilty of murder. The minimum sentence for murder in South Africa is 15 years, though a judge can reduce that sentence for what the law describes as exceptional circumstances. Pistorius is currently under house arrest. [ Time ]
