Jose is busy.

It seems like Jose Mourinho is going to land one of his main summer targets because Borussia Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan is on the verge of joining Manchester United, according to The Guardian.

The Armenian international has a year left on his current contract with the German giants and he’s expected to cost in the region of £26m- £30m. Journalist Raphael Honigstein is reporting that Dortmund have sent an official to Manchester to negotiate the deal.

If the 27-year-old moves to United, it casts further doubt over the future of Juan Mata because as we all know, the Spanish international wasn’t exactly a favourite of Jose Mourinho’s during their time together at Chelsea.

Sky Sports are also confident that the deal will take place, they’re also reporting that the imminent arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic will also be announced shortly, pending a medical.
