Manchester United midfielder Henrik Mkhitaryan is on the verge of completing his move to Emirates Stadium and he cried while he said goodbyes to his teammates at Old Trafford on Friday during training.
It is understood that the Armenian midfielder is to make a move to Arsenal as his agent, Raiola is finalising his deal with the North London club as part of Alexis Sanchez’s swap deal to Old Trafford.
Daily Mail reported that the former Borrusia Dortmund playmaker shed tears at Carrington on Friday afternoon during Man United training ahead of Burnley clash on Saturday.
‘It was very tearful,’ said one United source told The Daily Mail.
‘Henrikh has been a very popular figure here at United.’
Despite understanding that his chances will be improved in north London, Mkhitaryan feels the deal has been ‘forced’ upon him this January.
‘We know he isn’t too happy with the way this deal has been forced upon him,’ the source adds. ‘He realises he has more chance of playing at Arsenal, but he would have preferred to leave on his own terms.’
