FIVE EXCITING FACTS ABOUT HENRIKH MKHITARYAN

Manchester United have completed the signing of another world class player, this time from Borussia Dortmund on a four year contract with the option of extending that contract also.

Fact 1: He scored 23 goals last season in all competitions for Borussia Dortmund. Bear in mind he's only a midfielder, and that is quite a sum.

Fact 2: 32 assists in all competitions. This player will boost the attacking force of Manchester United, no doubt.

Fact 3: He was voted player of the season, last season, for Borussia Dortmund by his fellow players, and named in the team of the season following votes by the players' union in Germany, VDV.

Fact 4: Armenia's all time top scorer, captains the National Team, and received the Armenian Footballer
of the Year Award on five occasions.

Fact 5: He is a player with skill, vision and also a good eye for goal and his style of play is suited to the Premier League. 

DESTINATION: OLD TRAFFORD

Yesterday, Zlatan Ibrahimovic revealed on instagram that he is officially transferring to Manchester United, for free! He was also featured on a dramatic video by Manchester United with red smoke and everything where he said "it's Zlatan time." 

Another transfer that has been leaked is the transfer of Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The Manchester United FC store reportedly leaked shirts of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, already. The shirts are found here. But we all know that these transfers are all going to happen anyway and I am really really excited. If you look at the comparisons between Henrikh's stats at Dortmund to Gundogan who played for Dortmund also, alongside the Armenian and transferred to Manchester City this summer, the comparison is phenomenal. 

Sometimes us Manchester United fans underestimate how big this club is. We are able to bring in superstars whereas our rival clubs only bring half good half bad players. 

TRANSFER OFFER ACCEPTED?

Reports how that Manchester United will sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan for 40 million euros. The Armenian midfielder has only got one year left on his contract, and recently his agent has been expressing their desires to sign for Manchester United.  If the reports are 100%, which I think probably is, he would have an immediate medical at the club as the Armenian national team were unable to participate in the Euros in France.

So what would we be getting? Henrikh Mkhitaryan played a very vital role for Borussia Dortmund last season, helping the German club to attain second position in the Bundesliga. Here are some of his stats from last season:

1. 52 games
2. 32 assists
3. 23 goals

Those are unbelievable stats, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan can add to the creativity of the team, supplying our strikers and attackers. Ilkay Gundogan also played for Borussia Dortmund alongside Mkhitaryan, before his departure to Manchester City this summer. Here are his stats:

1. 40 games
2. 3 goals
3. 7 assists

Look at the difference! The Manchester derby continues to fire up!

THIS GUY WANTS UNITED SWITCH!

Borussia Dortmund's star midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan wants to go to Manchester United according to agent Mino Raiola, despite links with a host of top Premier League teams including Arsenal and Chelsea.

His agent said: "He wants to go to Manchester United and we are still trying to resolve the situation." According to Daily Mirror though, Manchester United have had an offer of £19 million rejected for the Armenian. It's very true indeed that that 19 million is not a fair reflection of his quality. He is a phenomenal player and I dont think raising the 19 million cash will bother Manchester United.

And this is why, he scored 23 goals and 32 assists in 52 games last season! Mind blowing. He has arguably been the most important player for Borussia Dortmund last season. Do you think Henrikh Mkhitaryan would be an important player for Manchester United?

THE RETURN OF ADNAN!

Manchester United have cut short the ridiculous loan of Adnan Januzaj to Borussia Dortmund and will soon rejoin the first team despite scoring no goals and three assists in 12 appearances for the German side. So what next? What is Louis Van Gaal looking to try with him?

If you've read the previous posts, I always say how Louis Van Gaal needs to change up the 

formation a bit. Sir Alex ferguson always used Wayne Rooney as a Centre Forward behind the striker and that's where he plays best. He done this with strikers such as Robin Van Persie and Danny Welbeck and it worked. 

At the beginning of the season, Adnan was played as a striker and that position suited him very well. So i'm predicting that instead of buying another striker, Louis Van Gaal might put Adnan Januzaj just in front of Wayne Rooney. In the previous game we saw how the partnership of Wayne Rooney alongside another striker works against Swansea how Anthony Martial and Wayne Rooney worked together. 

Also recently Louis Van Gaal cut short the loan of Will Keane, so maybe he's just looking to add more depth to the United attack or he might've just decided "I've seen enough now, I'm putting you on the transfer list!" I'm anxious, Louis Van Gaal is so unpredictable during the transfer windows!

What would you do if you were Louis Van Gaal? Do you think he should have cut short the loan? How would you use Adnan Januzaj? Feel free to comment!

THE WINDOW IS OPEN!

The January transfer window is officially open. So who should Louis Van Gaal release and who do you think he should sign?

To Sell:

1. Wayne Rooney needs to be sold. He is expected to be the best striker in the world and he's unable to perform, he's unable to score goals and I think he's time should be up. Every week the captain of the club is being paid £300,000 every single week! And only to score two goals. If we were to let go of Wayne Rooney, we would have to buy another striker. But who?
 The other option is to change up the formation a bit. This season, every game Louis Van Gaal has stuck with the 4-2-3-1. However Wayne Rooney only works well paired with another striker. Sir Alex always played Wayne Rooney and Robin Van persie together. What a partnership! Even last season when Falcao played alongside Wayne Rooney they played well. Maybe if we bought another striker he'll improve as he feels his position is under threat.

To Sign:

1. Adnan Januzaj needs to be re-signed. Louis Van Gaal played him as a striker at the beginning of the season, and I still don't why he was loaned out to Borussia Dortmund. We all know how good he is, his shooting and dribbling ability and under David Moyes that was really shown.

To be honest with you, Manchester United are in a big trouble. We need a top goalscoring striker, but I just don't who. Please comment below who you would like to see at Manchester United realistically. Do you think we should be looking in a different position please leave what you think in the comment section and maybe your wish will come true.

ADNAN JANUZAJ TO RETURN TO OLD TRAFFORD?

There's some speculation that Adnan Januzaj could return back to Old Trafford. Louis Van Gaal has admitted that Manchester United need "speed and creativity." One option is to bring back Adnan Januzaj to fit that role in attack.

 The young belgian who is currently on loan at Borussia Dortmund has made only nine appearances and seven of them were for coming on as a substitute. However many think that if he were to return, he might get even less game time. But from looking at how Louis Van Gaal has previously used Adnan by playing him in that Number 10 role, he would add more depth in attack. And i would rather put him up front than Mr Wayne Rooney to be honest!

Manchester United are struggling in attack, if it weren't for a late penalty against West Brom over the weekend it would have been another 1-0 win. Manchester United desperately need an attacker even if it's to bring back one on loan. Feel free to comment some players you would like to see attacking at Manchester United.

MANCHESTER UNITED & LIVERPOOL BATTLE FOR YOUNG GEM

Manchester United and Liverpool are battling it out for young Danish sensation Emre Mor.
According to Sami Mokbel of the MailOnline the 18 year old has grabbed the attention of two clubs from the Premier League from his classy performance for FC Nordsjaelland.

In fact, just recently he created an assist and scored a goal leading his team to victory in the Danish U19 final. Many "big" clubs are also interested in the player including Ajax and Borussia Dortmund are in the radar, but of course out of the clubs interested, Manchester United are the only Big team. Manchester United have a long- held reputation for giving young prospects a chance. "Since October 1937, that is 3,763 consecutive first team games, one youth player starts and one on the bench," -@mrmujac.

The question is, if we are to sign Emre Mor, would he be another Wilfried Zaha, Paul Pogba, or an Anthony Martial? Don't forget to follow me on my social media on the left of the page, to subscribe to the new newsletter and the cool Manchester United merch at the bottom left!

JURGEN KLOPP WANTS MANCHESTER UNITED?

Former Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp has been linked with Liverpool after his departure. However it appears clear that the German coach wants to manage Manchester United according to Eckhard Krautzun who worked alongside Klopp at his managerial career at Mainz. He also commented that he expects to see the 47 year old at Old Trafford in the future. Only 47! Jurgen Klopp could end up at
Manchester United very soon! But, what about Giggsy? Everyone wants to manage Manchester United init! Pep Guardiola, Steve Bruce and now Klopp! Brilliant club.

MANCHESTER UNITED TRANSFER - FACT OR FICTION?

1. Mats Hummels (fact) - Mats Hummels, has been on the Manchester United radar for a long tim e now and i think Hummels might be joining Manchester United this summer. I remember when Ander Herrera was linked to Manchester United for one or two seasons and eventually he joined, and i think that might  happen with Hummels. And it makes sense winning the  World Cup last season and the decreasing value of Borussia Dortmund with all the big German stars leaving and even the manager!

2. Nathaniel Clyne (fact) - Manchester United have a lack of option in that Right back position, from the playing of Antonio Valencia in that position we know there's a missing piece in the Jigsaw! And Nathaniel Clyne fits that role. He has also had a few spells and appearances for England so he could be a another player on his way to  "ye" Old Trafford!

3. Gareth Bale (fiction) I have nothing to say regarding this!

4. David De Gea (fiction) On my opinion i don't see David De Gea leaving Manchester United, at this time anyway. He loves Manchester United! But its still up to him!

GUNDOGAN MOVE CONFIRMED

Borussia Dortmund have confirmed that Gundogan will leave this summer but are determined to keep Mats Hummels. Borussia Dortmund's sporting director Michael Zorc revealed that the 24 year old, who has one year left on his contract, has requested to leave the club. Michael Zorc denied that Bayern are willing to offer up Mario Gotze for the deal. Manchester United are linked as we all know that Louis Van Gaal did announce that he'll be looking to sign a creative midfielder "Uhhmm!" Ilkay Gundogan. But it's unlikely Bayern Munich are at all linked if they have all those midfielders! Manchester United is the likeable destination for the German International.

GUNDOGAN EDGING CLOSER

Manchester United are closing in on Ilkay Gundogan. Gundogan has been a huge target from Manchester United from some time now and could be a possible transfer this summer. The German midfielders contract ends at the end of 2015-16 season and Dortmund will be looking to hold on to the German international as well as all the Dortmund stars as well as their manager who will be leaving! Earlier on in the season Louis Van Gaal announced the need of a creative midfielder and Gundogan fits that role very well.

MATS HUMMELS AGREES DEAL! - IS THIS TRUE?

Apparently Mats Hummels has agreed a sum of £37 million according to Bleacher Report and the Daily Star. Since the departure of Nemanja Vidic last summer to Inter Milan
, Manchester United have been linked to the German international and captain of Borussia Dortmund and since then offers have been rejected so i'm still wondering if this is really true. If it is i'm sure Manchester United fans will be very pleased and happy because he's the best replacement for the Warrior, Nemanja Vidic.
