Mkhitaryan's agent won't give up on Manchester United move
Henrikh Mkhitaryan's agent has no intention of aborting negotiations between Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United, despite the German club's insistence that the 27-year-old won't be sold.
Mkhitaryan has just a year left on his contract with Dortmund, but Mino Raiola is still pushing for a transfer to United.
"It would be a sin to stop talking," said Raiola, according to the BBC's Simon Stone. "I am a positive guy. If I wasn't confident of reaching some kind of conclusion, I wouldn't try. ...
"I am very proud Manchester United want him and the talks are being held in a good atmosphere, but at the moment Dortmund are still saying no."

Raiola is a high-profile man in Manchester this summer, considering he also has free agent Zlatan Ibrahimovic as a client.
The 34-year-old has let reporters run their rumours for the past few months, teasing them with sparring details about a potential move to Old Trafford.
Ibrahimovic said in May that he'd already decided where he would play next season, but Raiola begs to differ.
"Manchester United is a great club, with a great coach," said Raiola, referring to newly hired manager Jose Mourinho. "But Zlatan has not yet made his choice."
Offers from China and Italy are reportedly competing with United's bid for the Swedish striker.
