Man United have made another bid for Dortmund's Mkhitaryan in aggressive pursuit

Jose Mourinho's Manchester United have made an increased £28million move for midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

The Old Trafford giants have upped the ante in their attempts to land the Borussia Dortmund midfielder with a significantly improved second offer.

And there is increasing confidence a deal for Mkhitaryan will be agreed, according to sources close to the negotiations.
It is understood that Mourinho has earmarked the 27-year-old Armenian as one of his next big-money targets as he attempts to raise the Old Trafford club to its former glory days.

And United’s determination to land Mkhitaryan for Mourinho is reflected in the size of their follow-up bid and quick response to having their initial £19m offer vehemently knocked back by the Germans.
