Henrikh Mkhitaryan‘s future at Manchester United is once more a popular talking point after his sister posted a tweet, since deleted, igniting speculation he could rejoin Borussia Dortmund in January.

The Armenian international joined United from Dortmund in 2016 but endured a slow start to life at Old Trafford, with Jose Mourinho originally unwilling to use the midfielder.

Mkhitaryan, 28, eventually broke into the team through his successes in the League Cup and Europa League, which led him to start the current season in impressive form alongside new signing Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford.

However, the 28-year-old has since fallen back down the pecking order with Jesse Lingard hitting a good run of form.

Asked about a mooted Bundesliga return, Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke expressed doubts over the re-signing of Mkhitaryan, from a financial point of view, though speculation persists.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
