Borussia Dortmund: 'Henrikh Mkhitaryan has joined Manchester United'

Borussia Dortmund say that midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has left the club to join Manchester United.

Borussia Dortmund have announced that midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan has joined Manchester United.

The Armenian international had been strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford and although there has been no confirmation from United, Dortmund have released a statement to say that the 27-year-old will leave the Bundesliga giants this summer.

It read: "The paths of Borussia Dortmund and midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan separate from this summer. BVB has complied, after intensive discussions, with the wish of the Armenian national team member to join Manchester United.

"Based on a completely new situation, this transfer was a difficult trade-off for us. Had we refused it, the player would have left us on a free transfer in 2017 and we would have only delayed the matter of a replacement by a year."

Mkhitaryan has spent the last three seasons at Dortmund, scoring 40 goals from 136 appearances in all competitions.
