OFFICIAL: MAN UTD SIGN MKHITARYAN


Dortmund confirmed the move on their website on Saturday, revealing that the Armenia international expressed his wish to join United in "intensive discussions" with the Bundesliga club. 


“This transfer was made on the basis of starting a new challenge. Manchester United made a tremendous offer, which matched the player’s value. Had we rejected it, the player could have moved for free in 2017," said CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke.

 Mkhitaryan becomes Jose Mourinho's third signing of the summer, after Eric Bailly and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
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.

 The versatile forward, who can play as a winger as well as an attacking midfielder, has scored 104 goals in 298 club games, and has also won 59 caps for his country.

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 ]
