Borussia Dortmund attacker Henrikh Mkhitaryan reportedly refuses to report to training due to his proposed move to Manchester United taking longer than expected.

Borussia Dortmund playmaker Henrikh Mkhitaryan has reportedly made moves to push through his proposed transfer to Manchester United.

The 27-year-old is widely expected to make the switch to Old Trafford this summer, although the deal appears to have stalled in recent days.

German magazine SportBild claims that Mkhitaryan is beginning to get restless at the time the move is taking, and has threatened to help push through the transfer.

The report goes on to say that the Armenia international sent a text message to Dortmund boss Thomas Tuchel telling him that he will not return to training if the deal is not wrapped up in the coming days.

Mkhitaryan was accused of employing similar tactics when moving from Shakhtar Donetsk to Dortmund in 2013.
