Borussia Dortmund ready to admit defeat and sell Henrikh Mkhitaryan to Manchester United for £26m

Borussia Dortmund could finally be ready to do business and allow Henrikh Mkhitaryan to leave for Manchester United.

Jose Mourinho is desperate to add the midfielder this summer as United look for more attacking invention.

But club chiefs had been left exasperated at Dortmund digging heir heels in during negotiations and privately admitted they seemed to be fighting a losing battle.

Borussia Dortmund appear to be consigned to selling midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan this summer

Dortmund will allow the highly-rated Armenia international to move to Manchester United for a £26m fee

That has changed over the last few days, however, after Mkhitaryan's agent Mino Raiola held talks with the Bundesliga side last week in a bid to force a move.

The fee is believed to be around £26million, with the Armenian only having one year left on his current deal and Dortmund seemingly now ready to cash in.
