Agent: Sin to abandon attempts of Mkhitaryan’s Man United moveJune 20, 2016 - 11:17 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The agent of Henrikh Mkhitaryan said it would be wrong to abandon attempts to get the Borussia Dortmund midfielder a move to Manchester United, BBC Sport reports. The Bundesliga club are refusing to let the 27-year-old leave following the departures of both Mats Hummels and Ilkay Gundongan this summer. "It would be a sin to stop talking," said agent Mino Raiola. "I am a positive guy. If I wasn't confident of reaching some kind of conclusion, I wouldn't try." The Armenian has a year left on his contract and has told Dortmund he will not sign another deal, with United his preferred option. Raiola added: "I am very proud Manchester United want him and the talks are being held in a good atmosphere, but at the moment Dortmund are still saying no." United are expected to sign Zlatan Ibrahimovic once the Swede is free of his international commitments at Euro 2016.
