Decision on Arsenal, Man Utd target Mkhitaryan “expected this week”June 14, 2016 - 13:58 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - A decision on Arsenal and Manchester United target Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s future could be made by next week, Metro cited Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc as saying. The midfielder impressed again last season, managing 11 goals and 20 assists in 31 Bundesliga appearances. “We will make a decision this week!” Zorc told German publication Bild. With one year left on the midfielder’s contract, it could be that BVB decide to hold on to the 27-year-old until he leaves on a free – in the same manner as Robert Lewandowski, Mario Gotze, and Hummels in recent years. However, if Dortmund do decide to sell, it is expected that the Red Devils and Gunners will be interested in making moves for the Armenia international.
