It's a Raiola briefing. First Sky mention the representative side of the deal not being finished, now BBC is focusing on the Mkhi deal.
It's Raiola blabbering all over the journos again.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

It's Raiola blabbering all over the journos again.
Muppet suicide has begun.
Let's all walk together, hand in hand, in to the sea, where we can finally be at peace and leave this forsaken Sanchezless football club behind.
We all got carried away, remember that Arsenal walked away from £60mil cash in the summer, if they don't get a replacement they could end up keeping him.
Sanchez will then get plenty of offers in the summer, I still think there is a twist in this yet.
He's only talking about the Mkhitaryan deal. If Mkhi doesn't go anywhere, then we sign him for cash. It's as simple as that.
Buying him outright would certainly be preferable. If there's one club you don't want to be relying on to get a deal done, it's Arsenal. But here we are.
Literally all of your posts in this thread are saying this deal couln't or wouldn't happen. Why bother posting in a thread if you don't think it's happening or continuously reiterating the same point.
He's just pressuring someone into forking over extra cash
Raiola briefs the journos and you go full meltdown...gees. How did you survive the pogba transfer?
And thus it has ever been when it comes to Mino...
Good, they get info from Riaola as they are Di Marzio crew.
Is it closer than it was 5 minutes ago?
No, we can't.
I imagine Mkhitaryan will go through eventually though, so it shouldn't come to that.
Those BBC/english guys had no idea about this deal until sky Italian broke the news. Now they now its exact details and when it can be done?
I call bullshit. They are just guessing.
I call bullshit. They are just guessing.
We do, which shows how efficient Woodward has been in running the business side of things. It's the football side that's been lacking in recent years.
Get outta this thread with all this negativity. He will be a United player come the end of this transfer window.
Di Marzio vs Ornstein battle of the tier ones!! 
Probably in the depths of agent fee negotiations...
He really is a shite. I hope we don't regret climbing into bed with him.
More likely getting briefed by that fat feck Raiola as many have pointed out already.
Better source than Ornstein I think, they’ll have Raiola sources.
Have a word...
City would've got him for cash only. I'm not sure why you're confident about not getting him without Mkhitaryan.
I swear this thread would be half the size if people checked if a tweet has been posted before they post it themselves, amount of bloody duplicates I've just read through while catching up
or doing something terrible to a potted plant!
No, they can literally be carried out anywhere, providing the signing club is happy with the facilities.
United used to do some in The Christie - a private hospital in Manchester. Stoke and Crewe used to use my old Uni - which had labs for sports science - in Alsager.
Arsenal should be targeting Anthony Martial rather than Henrikh Mkhitaryan, says Charlie Nicholas

What is he smoking? Sterling went to City for 50million quid and then he says that Martial is a far better player. He cant tell his elbow from his arse, this fella.
this is decent news.
70k in relation to everything he’s getting out of this deal is nothing when comparing between playing for City and United. It’s nothing. If me and you are say on average wages in our jobs then £70 would make a massive difference to us. But to him it’s not a deal breaker. He could of easily gone to City to play for Sir Pep peanut head inventor of football and took easy medals straight away. For more or less the same money, when you include the addons and signing on bonus he would of been a very very wealthy man very quickly. He didn’t. He chose United, the timeline fits his decision. In my opinion he chose United over City regardless of money but his agent did what a good agent does, got him his worth. Sanchez, yes, is in the loop knowing how much is being asked but he isn’t demanding certain figures.
Anyway I’m not ignoring your next response, I’m about to take off from Lanzarote and I refuse to pay the exorbitant price for WiFi on Ryan air.
At least I’m being morally correct.
I never said he had his heart set on being there.
At the end of the day, if you make a list;
City:
Guaranteed Short term success
Better prospects for long term success
Team is set up to suit attacking players more
More gifted players
United:
More money
Better history and more prestige
Bigger club
Guaranteed playing time
I don't know Sanchez. So I don't know which of those factors above is most important to him. But in my opinion, it was the extra 70K (which isn't relatively low. if we assume city offered 280K then an extra 70 is a 25% increase!).
If your Alexis and you don't mind going City or Utd, and one offers an extra 70K, it's a no brainer where you go! If City had offered to match it and he still chose us over them then we can factually say he chose us over city because we're Manchester United! With what we know at this moment in time, it seems more likely that he chose us because he wants to play for UTD AND we were willing to match his wage demands
Wasn't there some former player who said that West Ham (or maybe it was some other club) should try to get Martial for 20 mil. That was classic.
Lol who ever said BBC gets briefed by Raiola?
Sky Italia has good links to Raiola.
Paul Merson.Wasn't there some former player who said that West Ham (or maybe it was some other club) should try to get Martial for 20 mil. That was classic.
Conflicting stories from two reputable sources. Only thing we can do is wait and see. It just seems like posturing and negotiating tactics to me
So he says he could be one of the best in the world and then say that £50 million should be offered for him? Charlie Nicholas is an absolute clown and so pro-Arsenal that I cannot stand him, even as a Scotsman
As I said above, I don't think this will be dependent on Mkhitaryan specifically, but, as Wenger has already made clear, any deal for Sanchez is contingent on Arsenal securing some kind of replacement (whether that's Mkhi, Malcom, Aubameyang etc etc). They walked away from the deal with City in the summer for this very reason.
That being said, there's no point in Mkhitaryan scuppering this deal, and goodwill from both sides will surely get it done at some point this month.
Merson said sell Payet and get Martial for 20M.Wasn't there some former player who said that West Ham (or maybe it was some other club) should try to get Martial for 20 mil. That was classic.
I think it was Paul Merson.Wasn't there some former player who said that West Ham (or maybe it was some other club) should try to get Martial for 20 mil. That was classic.
I like!
