Borussia Dortmund have announced that Henrik Mkhitaryan has joined Manchester United despite the fact that several key details regarding the deal remain unresolved.

The Bundelsiga club declared that the transfer had been completed in a statement published on their official website on Saturday.

“Manchester [United] have made an offer of tremendous value. Had we refused, the player would be able to leave for free in 2017,” said Hans-Joachim Watzke, the Dortmund chief executive.

United, however, have yet to make a statement regarding the deal as Mkhitraryan must still agree personal terms, pass a medical and receive work permit clearance.

The Premier League club are confident that these matters will be resolved in due course.

Mkhitraryan is set to become United’s third signing since the appointment of Jose Mourinho as the club’s new manager in May.

He will follow Eric Bailly, the young centre-back formerly of Villarreal, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic through the door at Old Trafford.

Mkhitaryan, a 27-year-old attacking midfielder, enjoyed a remarkable season under Thomas Tuchel at Dortmund last term.

The Armenia international registered 23 goals and 32 assists in 51 appearances across all competitions during the 2015/16 campaign.
