"Borussia" Dortmund confirmed that they have accepted an offer from "Manchester United" for midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan and the Armenian will continue his career in the English Premier League. The German vice-champions officially announced that they agreed to sell the player for the requested price. The exact amount is not disclosed, but it is believed that around 40 million euros were paid for the Armenian midfielder who can play in both defensive and attacking positions. H. Mkhitaryan's contract with "Borussia" was set to expire next summer. It is for this reason that BVB made the decision to sell the player, as they could risk losing him for free in 2017. "This sale was made for certain reasons. 'Manchester United' made a 'giant' offer that matched the player's value. If we had rejected it, he could have left for free in 2017," said BVB CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke. H. Mkhitaryan joined "Borussia" in 2013. During this time, the Armenian played 136 matches and scored 40 goals. "Man Utd" has already acquired defender Eric Bailly and forward Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer.
