Weghorst has emerged as a January target for Man United with Erik ten Hag keen to bring in another striker to ease the burden on Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial following the exit of Cristiano Ronaldo.
MANCHESTER UNITED’S hopes of striking a deal for Netherlands international Wout Weghorst lie in the hands of Besiktas after the Turkish club dismissed reports that his loan deal from Burnley includes a break clause.
The 6ft 6in striker has scored nine goals in 18 games for Besiktas this term, including the winner in Saturday’s 2-1 Super Lig victory over Kasimpasa. Besiktas would want compensation before allowing Weghorst’s loan to be terminated early, particularly as their agreement with Burnley included an option to buy.
The lack of depth in the attacking departments will have a bearing on Ten Hag’s selection decisions for Tuesday’s Carabao Cup quarter-final at home to Charlton. The League Cup was the last trophy United lifted back in 2017, before the likes of Diogo Dalot signed, and the Portugal full-back is desperate to fix that.
