A private jet from Dortmund is landing in Manchester today as Henrikh Mkhitaryan's transfer to United nears completion.

M.E.N. Sport understands a flight from Dortmund will be arriving at Manchester Airport's private terminal at 3.30pm this afternoon, amid the likelihood Mkhitaryan will soon finalise his move to United.

The Reds upped their offer for the 27-year-old Armenia international and Borussia Dortmund chief executive Hans-Joachim Watzke suggested the move would be completed before the end of the week.

He said earlier this week: "Manchester United have substantially improved their offer.

"The situation has changed. There are always several aspects in such a decision. I have already contacted the appropriate people and we will weigh up all the pros and cons. Then the board will make a decision."

United all but confirmed the imminent arrival of Mkhitaryan by selling the new Adidas away shirt with his name on it.

United's Megastore website gave visitors the choice to add Mkhitaryan's name to the blue away shirt that was launched shortly after the season ended.

The site appeared to crash after screen grabs of Mkhitaryan's name emblazoned on the United shirt surfaced on social media.

"Unfortunately an error has occurred on the page you were trying to view," the message read for those attempting to visit the site.

"The Store Technicians have been informed of this error and will deal with it as soon as possible, in the meantime please use the menu at the top of this screen to navigate to other areas of the site."

It is also understood Zlatan Ibrahimovic will touch down in Manchester later today.
