Mkhitaryan said a tearful goodbye to Manchester United players and staffs at their Carrington training ground as his switch to Arsenal draws closer.
Manchester United and Arsenal are involved in a swap deal that will see both Mkhitaryan and Alexis Sanchez switch clubs.
The Red Devils have reportedly agreed on a deal to bring Sanchez to Old Trafford but the deal will not be completed except Mkhitaryan agrees to move the other way.
But an hour after Jose Mourinho confirmed Mkhitaryan would be left out of United’s squad to face Burnley, a source revealed that the player had said an emotional goodbye after his final United training session. ‘It was very tearful,’ said a source.
"Henrikh has been a very popular figure here at United, we know he isn’t too happy with the way this deal has been forced upon him.
"He realises he has more chance of playing at Arsenal, but he would have preferred to leave on his own terms."
Mkhitaryan was dropped from the squad that defeated Stoke City in United's last Premier League game while the gaffer has also confirmed Mkhitaryan will be dropped for the Burnley game.
However Arsene Wenger is considering putting Sanchez inn Arsenal's squad that will face Crystal, any injury to the Chilean could jeopardise his imminent move to Old Trafford.
Alexis Sanchez missed Arsenal's embarrassing defeat in the hands of Bournemouth and the Gunners will look to bounce back against in-form Crystal Palace at the Emirates
