Is Henrikh Mkhitaryan a Red Devil already?

Manchester United’s official website seems to suggest that he is.

It is thought that the highly-touted Armenian is close to making the move from Borussia Dortmund to Old Trafford on a £31million deal. It is understood that he has turned down the offer of a new deal from the Bundesliga club to facilitate the move.

Mkhitaryan has one year remaining on his current contract, and the 27-year-old is expected to be joined at Old Trafford by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is also represented by agent Mino Raiola.

Although the deal has yet to be officially confirmed, the club have dropped a huge hint on their official club store that it is imminent. The club have started selling merchandise bearing the Armenian’s name on their website which is sure to make fans very excited about his probable arrival.
