Varo Yan 2,984 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Manchester United transfer news: Club accidentally announces Mkhitaryan deal at same time as Zlatan Ibrahimovic The club started to sell Mkhitaryan shirts on the official website before swiftly deleting them While the world was reacting to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s unsurprising admission that he will join Manchester United, the club were busy trying to cover up a transfer blunder of their own after appearing to confirm Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s move from Borussia Dortmund without the deal being completed. United’s interest in 27-year-old Mkhitaryan has been no secret, with Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke confirming this week that the Premier League club had made an improved offer, thought to be between £26m and £35m depending on bonuses and incentives. But while United are yet to make any official announcement after sending an official to Germany to try and complete the deal, the official club shop started to sell United shirts for the 2016/17 season with the option of Mkhitaryan on the back, raising suspicions that the deal was already done. The initial £26.3m deal is expected to go through for Mkhitaryan to move to Old Trafford within the next week though, with reports suggesting that a deal has already been agreed over personal terms and a medical is scheduled for the coming days. The Armenia (MY COUNTRY) international has just one year remaining on his Dortmund contract, but he rejected an offer to extend his stay at the Signal Iduna Park and both he and his agent, Mino Raiola, have been vocal in their desire to seek out a new club and structure a summer move. The forward has agreed a 12-month contract with United with the option of an extra year on wages in the region of £220,000-a-week, and should he and Mkhitaryan complete their moves to Old Trafford, they will take Mourinho’s summer recruitment drive to three new players after the club signed defender Eric Bailly last month.
