Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on the verge of completing his move to Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund, with the deal expected to be done at the weekend, The Daily mail reports.

A private jet arrived from Dortmund at Manchester Airport at 3.30pm on Friday, July 1 afternoon, although the club declined to confirm that the 27–year-old forward was on board.

Sportsmail understands that a transfer fee is yet to be agreed but that the two clubs are not far apart in their valuation, and there are no major obstacles to completing a deal in the region of £26million (about $34.5 million).

Mkhitaryan should become another big Jose Mourinho signing, following shortly after Zlatan Ibrahimovic, whose deal will be completed on Friday.

The Armenia international has a year left on his contract with the Bundesliga club, The Daily Mail says.
