Twitter explodes as Manchester United sign Henrikh Mkhitaryan

Manchester United confirm their third signing of the summer with Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Borussia Dortmund. The Armenian attacking midfielder has left the German side after three successful years. The announcement comes just a day after Jose Mourinho’s press conference where he had confirmed a third signing is on its way.

Mkhitaryan is the third summer signing for Manchester United after Eric Baily from Villarreal and Zlatan Ibrahimovic from Paris Saint-Germain. This completes the third of four players that Jose Mourinho had initially aimed to bring to Old Trafford.

Fact: United scored 49 goals in the Premier League last season, Zlatan & Mkhitaryan scored 49 goals combined in their respective leagues.
