They don't call it the Theatre of Dreams for nothing.

The allure of Old Trafford, Manchester United's iconic ground, seems to have gained control of another player's heart, as the agent for Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan says the Red Devils are his client's "dream club."

The Armenian, 27, has been linked with a move to United throughout the summer. Though Dortmund has maintained he's not leaving, the club's inability to broker a new contract has only poured fuel on the rumours that he's set to depart.

Speaking with German outlet Bild, Mkhitaryan's outspoken agent Mino Raiola said he hopes for a "sensible solution" to the saga, which has reportedly seen Dortmund already shoot down a €24-million offer.

"Such an offer to join Manchester United might only come once in a lifetime for a player and nobody can guarantee us that the door will still be open for Micki next season," Raiola said. "Manchester are Micki's dream club, he wants to join them by any means."
