Dortmund rule out Mkhitaryan return

The Armenian midfielder signed for Manchester United from Borussia Dortmund for a fee of £26.3m, but has managed to make just four Premier League appearances, starting just one.

However, despite the player's lack of game time, Borussia Dortmund CEO Hans-Joachim Watzke has ruled out a move for their former player.

When asked if there was any chance of a Mkhitaryan return, Watze told 'Kicker': "No. Any intelligent player should consider in advance what kind of environment they are moving to.

"When you are playing in surroundings where things are working for you, like in Dortmund, then it is quite strange to give that away again once things have finally started to work out for you after a long time settling in".
