“Manchester United have substantially improved their offer,” Watzke told Bild.

“The situation has changed. There are always several aspects in such a decision. I have already contacted the appropriate people and we will weigh up all the pros and cons at the weekend. Then, the board will make a decision.

“And as we start training on Monday, we will do that on the weekend, definitely.”

Mkhitaryan, who was signed for a club record fee in summer of 2013 by current Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, will set a new Dortmund record for money received from a sale after completing his Old Trafford switch.
