New United manager Jose Mourinho is attempting to improve his squad after replacing Louis van Gaal.
The Armenian international’s agent Mino Raiola has admitted his player wants to head to the Premier League, despite Dortmund previously saying they would block any move.
‘Such an offer to join Manchester United might only come once in a lifetime for a player and nobody can guarantee us that the door will still be open for Micki next season.
His agent, Raiola, still has a part to play and believes it would be a “sin” to abandon talk of agreeing a switch.
Raiola says that while Dortmund are still refusing to cash-in on the 27-year-old he remains “confident” a deal will eventually be agreed for Mkhitaryan to join United this summer. “Micki has for months maintained that he may leave the club this summer”, Raiola said.
Mkhitaryan enjoyed an incredible season as runners-up of the Bundesliga scoring 23 goals and registering 32 assists in 52 games in all competitions.
“I am a positive guy”.
Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke says the club will definitely not be selling Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
There is one trick Raiola could try which could convince Dortmund that selling the Armenian worldwide is their best option. threaten that he will join rivals Bayern Munich on a free transfer next summer.
