The first half of this season saw Burnley striker Wout Weghorst play for Turkish club Besiktas, but Manchester United paid a fee to kidnap him and replace Cristiano Ronaldo
Wout Weghorst appears prepared to compel his desired transfer to Manchester United.
This week, the Holland striker will fly to Manchester for a physical before joining United on loan for the rest of the year.
Weghorst is currently on loan from Burnley to Besiktas and his contract with the Turkish club has no break clause
Although Weghorst has made it known to both Besiktas and the Clarets that he wants to join United, United is willing to pay them in order to recruit him
Erik ten Hag, the manager of United, has turned to Weghorst after being unable to get Joao Felix from Atletico Madrid due to cost
United has been given the opportunity to sign the Portuguese forward, but Atletico is asking for an £8 million loan fee and wants the English powerhouses to pay Felix’s £275,000-a-week salary
Richard Arnold, the CEO of United, is unwilling to satisfy Atletico’s financial demands, but he is closely monitoring the situation to see whether Atletico is willing to decrease its asking price before the transfer season ends
Following Cristiano Ronaldo’s departure, Ten Hag is eager to bolster his team’s offensive capabilities, and he thinks Weghorst will provide him with a fresh approach up front
Rene Meulensteen, a former United coach, thinks Weghorst will succeed at Old Trafford. He declared: “Ten Hag is bringing him in because he is distinctive
He has a unique skill that the other Manchester United forwards lack, but I don’t believe he will start every game.
