Henrikh Mkhitaryan wants to join Man United

The Borussia Dortmund star has one year left on his current deal and has informed them that he will not renew it.

His form last season, 23 goals in all competitions, has alerted the likes of United and Arsenal to his ability.

But his agent Mino Raiola has recently revealed Mkhitaryan was most excited by United's interest.

And he has now told German newspaper Bild the Dortmund attacker wants to take this 'once in a lifetime' chance to join United.

He said: “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.

Arsenal's Most Expensive Transfers

"Manchester are Micki’s dream club, he wants to join them by any means.”

But United's hopes of signing the 27-year-old are hampered by the exits of Ilkay Gundogan and Mats Hummels.

Dortmund are understood to be refusing to let Mkhitaryan go and will keep him for the final year of his contract.
