Man Utd to Arsenal, but agent reveals Mkhitaryan's Premier League adventure almost started at Anfield

Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s Premier League journey has taken him from Manchester United to Arsenal, but a former agent has revealed it could have started at Liverpool.

Back in 2013, the Armenian playmaker was a much sought-after talent after starring for Shakhtar Donetsk.

Interest was shown from Anfield at that stage, with talks being held regarding a possible transfer.

However, Mkhitaryan was to part company with Dimitry Seluk around that time – despite the pair having been together since his Metalurh Donetsk days – and he ended up heading to Borussia Dortmund instead under the guidance of Mino Raiola.
