He's another one that we're being linked with by journalists with no real substance to it. Don't suspect Arsenal are in for him, personally.
The only thing that would make me think Arsenal are in for him, is that he has 1 year left. I really can't see them spending another 2 Xhaka size fees for a CB and an attacker; which is what they need, so they'll pick up a bargain somewhere.
One of our biggest problems has been creating chances, he's one of the best in the world at that and would compliment Martial and Ibra for a nicely balanced front 3.
Would definitely agree with that. If we are looking for a new 10, which we should, Mkhi would be worth a punt, considering that he has only one year left on his contract he shouldn't cost too much, but if we are dead set on playing Rooney there I'd rather we get Mahrez for the right. Embolo is someone we should buy regardless of whom of the two former mentioned players we buy as he is one for the future and the others are players that ideally should help us improve immediately.
Starters:
Zlatan
Martial -- Mkhi -- Mahrez
Backup:Martial -- Mkhi -- Mahrez
Rashford
Memphis -- Lingard -- Embolo
I think I could live with that attack.Memphis -- Lingard -- Embolo
I'm a bit wary of signing this fella. Dortmund is a disciplined, well oiled, squad of players - but I reckon that makes them seem better than they really are individually. I might be missing someone, but off the top of my head I can't quite think of many 'good' Dortmund players that have kept their form once they're at a new club/system. This was the same story for Fergie's offloads, decent ex-players who looked like bloody world beaters under Ferguson went on to flatter to deceive for their new team. Cracking name though.
Lewandowski.
Not a clue how you spell his name but hes been class at bayern.
Or do you mean worse players than him by good?
I do know what you mean though. There is quite a list of ex players who have underwhelmed at new clubs.
I'd love him here though. But him on fifa for united as i love his name. Usually bench him for Ageuro after a couple of seasons though!
No that's a good shout right enough, although on the same token Gotze has underperformed for them. I just think on-the-whole Dortmund products aren't all that they are cracked up to be.
You are totally right, Mkhitaryan (and Mahrez) had impressive stats last season.
It's okay if we sign a young player like Ounas or Lozano. But we need someone better in the start eleven if we want to compete with the top teams that have Messi, Neymar, Ronaldo, Bale, Robben, Costa, Coman, etc. Even Dortmund with Reus, Mkhitaryan, Dembele.
So it's important to improve our right wing. It seems that Griezmann is going to sign a new contract and players like Dybala/Bale are unrealistic. So Mkhitaryan would be a good choice, he is a versatile attacking midfielder with good end product. Unfortunately, it seems that Arsenal is being linked with him.
Kagawa and Sahin can be added to that list.
Is there actually a chance of us getting this guy? I don't really watch Bundesliga but I've heard plenty of good things or is everyone just being a muppet? :P
The boss of my local convenience store just told me we are getting him. How the feck he knows this is anyone's guess. It would have been on a Japanese website.
Muppetry, the universal language of the world.
His contract officially ends next year: 30 June 2017.
I'm starting to feel less sorry for Dortmund, how do they keep getting themselves in this position again and again?
They don't offer the same wages as elite clubs.
These football hacks genuinely have the easiest job on the planet.

[Bild] Mkhitaryan will make a decision on his Dortmund future this week...Mkhitaryan is willing to move this summer, to the Premier League; Arsenal, Chelsea & Man United all interested. (Would cost €30m)
Arsenal are apparently massive in Armenia.
Not really. Most of us support Real or Barca.
We must sign a right winger even if its not mkhitaryan. Do not want to see lingard starting anymore games.
He's had quite the season but I can't help but shake the feeling he'll struggle a bit wherever he goes. It did take him a fairly lengthy time - three seasons - to truly prove his worth at Dortmund. Maybe I'm just being a little irrational. In any case, there's a dearth of right winged options so we really do need to be taking the risk on trying to secure him.
"Mkhitaryan will make a decision on his Dortmund future this week" is wrong
According to the article Mkhitaryan has already made his decision and now Dortmund (According to Zorc's own words) will make a decision this week if they are keeping him for another season or they are selling him.

Blame Reddit.
Its the same formula with us. United target + Citeh =£££
No worries. If i'd have to hazard a guess, based off a 45 min conversation with him, he's more of a Barcelona fan. Raved about Pep's side.i was joking.
If we sign Mkhitaryan, he would be our first properly two-footed attacking player since Nani, and his versatility would be great to have. He's also not too old at 27 to be a key part of our building plans. He also shares an agent with Zlatan, so there's reason to think they're at least familiar with each other, if Zlatan does indeed come.
He is not very quick, but definitely smart and a good finisher. He's had a really good last season, but before that he was infamous for not being able to score, last season he got 23 in 51, before that in the previous two seasons he got 17 in over 80. I don't think he is one of those classic wingers, he is converted one (just like Mata, but obviously better than him playing on the wings).
30 million Euros is definitely cheap for a player of his quality, but if we have an option for signing some one like Mahrez for 40m, I would be tempted to go for him instead.
From Mkhitaryan's perspective, he would be better of signing for United rather than Arsenal, as there would be almost no competition for his position in United's squad.

Is it just me cos I dont really see him as a wide player. More central IMO
Didn't Dortmund vow to never let a player run down his contract? If anyone offers anything above €30m, he's gone imo.
Also is he left footed or right?

Both and supposedly equally good with either.
He's not very quick? I thought he was meant to be quite fast?
It's why I'm not excited at the thought of him coming. We need pace. Especially if we are being led by Ibrahimovic with Rooney behind.
He is quick.
He's the second fastest player in their team after Auba! He's quick!
Concur.
Considering he's just had his best season predominantly playing on the right (and as far as I know, was average to poor when he played centrally the season before), what makes you think that?
I don't think he played out in the traditional sense. Since I've been watching him from his days at Shakhtar, he always looked like a central player with the tendency to drift out wide.
That is actually right. He played 21 games on the left, 24 on the right and only 6 as the central attacking midfielder. So it actually looks like he is better out wide than in a central position which was mainly occupied by Shinji.
Quicker than Reus?
