"United are not going to sign Sanchez unless Mkhi agrees to join Arsenal," he said.
"He's going to do what is best for him. He has two-and-a-half years left on his contract, so it's his decision.
"Sanchez is part of Mkhi's deal. Not the other way around. Without him, Sanchez simply cannot go to United."
Raiola even opened the door for Mkhitaryan to stick with United, despite his tough spell in Manchester.
"Mkhi's problems at United are purely related to playing football," he added.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan wants to join Borussia Dortmund rather than Arsenal, say El Mercurio
"He has no problem with the manager. It is not personal.
"He doesn't have to leave. At this moment the chances of a move to Arsenal are low, but life is dynamic.
"This is a great deal for Arsenal. They need better, younger players and they have to invest.
"So it's up to Arsenal to put a deal in place and right now a deal is a long way off."
