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.
