Besiktas boss hits back at Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst over training comments

Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes has hit back at Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst for his recent criticism of the Turkish club's training methods.

The Netherlands international, 30, was on loan at the Turkish heavyweights when United registered their interest in his signature earlier this month. He had joined the Super Lig club on a season-long loan deal from Burnley last July and had scored a respectable nine goals in 18 matches.

However, once Weghorst learnt of United's interest in his signature, he was intent on cutting his loan spell at Besiktas short and returning to England and sealing a temporary switch to Old Trafford. The striker, who scored his first goal for the club during Wednesday night's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest in the first-leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final, recently addressed how his move to M16 unfolded, outlining just how keen he was to get the deal over the line.
