United are looking for a striker after Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract was terminated and sees Weghorst as a short-term help for the second half of the season.

However, Weghorst is currently on loan from Burnley to Besiktas. The Istanbul club would therefore have to agree to a termination of the loan before ManUnited can complete the deal with Burnley.
