We guess this means Jose Mourinho plans to sell Juan Mata again.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on the verge of joining Manchester United, according to The Guardian.
The Armenian attacking midfielder will cost between £26m and £30m from Borussia Dortmund, and is understood to have turned down the offer of a new deal from the German club in order to join United.
Mkhitaryan has a year remaining on his current contract, and the 27-year-old is expected to be joined at Old Trafford by Zlatan Ibrahimovic next week. Both players are represented by Mino Raiola, the same agent Alex Ferguson clashed with when Paul Pogba left the club in 2012.
German football journalist Raphael Honigstein has also said the deal for Mkhitaryan is “nearly done.”
