Mkhitaryan left Dortmund for Old Trafford in the summer of 2016, but the Armenia international has struggled to make a sustained impact under Jose Mourinho.
The United boss has not ruled out selling players in January, amid reports he will let Mkhitaryan go, while any return to the Bundesliga could help Mourinho in his pursuit of Dortmund midfielder Julian Weigl.
MAN UTD TO MAKE £60M SANDRO BID
Manchester United are set to launch a £60 million bid for Juventus full-back Alex Sandro in January, according to the Daily Mirror .
United boss Jose Mourinho has been a keen admirer of the Brazil international for some time as he looks to improve his backline at Old Trafford.
And though Juve rejected a £65m bid from Chelsea in the summer, they could now be open to a sale following Sandro's drop in form during the 2017-18 campaign.
CHRISTENSEN TO HOLD CHELSEA TALKS
Andreas Christensen is expected to hold talks with Chelsea regarding a new contract, reports the Evening Standard .

Christensen spent the previous two years on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach, but has now established himself as a key member of Blues boss Antonio Conte’s plans.
CHELSEA CONSIDER ZAHA BID
Chelsea are considering making a move for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha, according to the Daily Mirror .

MANCHESTER CITY & PEP TO HOLD NEW DEAL TALKS

The 20-year-old Swiss forward, who is on loan from Red Bull Salzburg, played in Basel's Champions League win over Manchester United and has been tracked by Red Devils scouts.
However, the report states Newcastle is in pole position to sign Oberlin, who is valued at £20 million.
AUBAMEYANG SIGNS SECRET DORTMUND EXTENSION
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has agreed to extend his Borussia Dortmund contract until 2021 after a secret meeting with club officials, reports Bild .

BUNDESLIGA CLUBS INTERESTED IN SCHWEINSTEIGER
Chicago Fire midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is fielding interest from Bundesliga clubs, Bild reports.
The World Cup winner only signed on through the end of 2017 after moving from Manchester United to Chicago in March, and the Fire reportedly find themselves fending off interest from teams in Germany as the 33-year-old considers his next step.
CHELSEA SET TO SIGN ALEX SANDRO
Chelsea are hoping to seal a cut-price deal for Juventus defender Alex Sandro, according to the Daily Star .
The full-back reportedly was close to a move to Stamford Bridge last summer, but has seen his form drop off alarmingly this season after having his transfer hopes frustrated.
Now the Blues are hoping to sign Sandro for £50 million, significantly below the price first quoted by the Serie A champions.
ATLETICO SEAL RODRI DEAL
Atletico Madrid are ready to make Rodri their latest signing in January, according to Marca .
Having been frozen out of the transfer market over the summer after flouting FIFA regulations, the Liga club are hoping to make up for lost time following a tough start to the season.
Diego Costa will finally be able to make his Atletico comeback in the new year and he looks set to be joined by Rodri, the 21-year-old Villarreal midfielder who is highly rated in Castellon.
PSG & MAN CITY LEAD ISCO CHASE
Manchester City are among three teams keen to sign Real Madrid's Isco in the coming transfer window, claims Don Balon .
With Gareth Bale on the mend after injury, the ex-Malaga star may see his first-team opportunities reduced in 2018.
And should he choose to continue his career elsewhere he will have no shortage of options, with the Premier League leaders, PSG and Juventus linked with his signature.
