Manchester United will follow up the signing of Zlatan Ibrahimovic by concluding a £34million deal for Borussia Dortmund's Henrikh Mkhitaryan - and the club appear to have leaked the news.
United's official website carried images of their new blue away kit - available to order with the Armenia international's name printed on the back.
An agreement for the Borussia Dortmund midfielder is yet to be formally announced but United's online shop appeared to have jumped the gun, with fans able to purchase the new strip complete with Mkhitaryan's name.
The page was soon removed and an error messaged replaced it, although its initial presence would suggest the Red Devils have finally thrashed out a deal to sign the highly-rated 27-year-old.
United's interest in Mkhitaryan become apparent on June 9 and talks have developed quickly with Raiola pushing for the move despite initial insistence from Dortmund that they wanted the Armenia captain to see out the final year of his contract.
Arsenal had also shown interest but Mkhitaryan was excited at the prospect of linking up with Jose Mourinho. United opened with an initial £18million offer but have now matched Dortmund's valuation to ensure the deal was concluded in time for Mourinho's return to Carrington on Monday.
Ivory Coast defender Bailly, 22, moved from Villarreal for £30million earlier in the month, with Mourinho started to assemble a squad he hopes can take United back to the top of the Premier League.
United's first team squad who have not been involved in summer tournaments are due back on Thursday.
