The deal for Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan to join Arsenal in exchange for Alexis Sanchez is delayed due to Mkhitaryan’s agent Mino Raiola, Matteo Pedrosi‏, a reporter at Calciomercato, said in his Twitter page.

“Raiola is slowing down the deal between Arsenal and Manchester United: he is insisting that Mkhitaryan should receive an Alexis-level salary. Sanchez agreed personal terms with MUFC but is waiting for the end of Mino-business,” he twitted.

To remind, Mkhitaryan’s agent has claimed Manchester United’s prospects of signing Alexis Sanchez will hinge on whether the Armenia playmaker decides to join Arsenal.
