Manchester United star Henrikh Mkhitaryan has sent a message of support to former club Borussia Dortmund.

“I was deeply shocked by the explosions last night in Dortmund, a city that has a very special place in my heart,” Mkhitaryan said in a Facebook post.

“I want to send my support to Borussia Dortmund, the fans and I also wish a speedy recovery to Marc Bartra,” he added.

An explosion has hit a bus carrying the Borussia Dortmund football team to a Champions League match yesterday.

Defender Marc Bartra fractured his wrist in the incident, which led to Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg being postponed.
