He may have been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal for the last couple of months, but Henrikh Mkhitaryan's agent Mino Raiola has some bad news for Gunners fans, who were expecting the Armenian to jet into the Emirates Stadium, this Summer.
In a new interview with The Times, today, the Dutch super agent, who also represents Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba, confirmed his client's wishes to move to Old Trafford, after rejecting a new contract with BVB.
"He wants to go to Manchester United and we are still trying to resolve the situation," Raiola said.

"We are still talking to Dortmund and working hard on this. We are trying to be reasonable. They are aware that Micki wants to leave now."

"Dortmund presented an official offer which was rejected, but now the club bosses fear their own fans. Suddenly they tell Micki, that he should go next season on a free transfer. This is very bad management.
"Manchester United is a unique opportunity, Micki wants to go there."
Again, this could just be excessive posturing from Raiola in the hopes he can deliver his client a much better contract or scare the likes of Arsenal or other interested parties into making a mega money move for the 27-year-old Armenian. Only time will tell, but it is believed that Jose Mourinho is a big admirer of Mkhitaryan, so the Dutchman's comments could be reason for Red Devils fans to be very excited.
