Manchester United have unveiled Wout Weghorst as their second January signing after the striker penned a loan deal that keeps him at Old Trafford until the end of the season.
United, who play Manchester City in Saturday’s lunchtime derby, announced his arrival at 9pm on Friday, just hours after Besiktas released a statement confirming his season-long stay had been ended by mutual consent. The move has cost United £2.6m.
This is because parent club Burnley did not attach a release clause in his initial loan move to Besiktas, who had an option-to-buy at the end of the campaign. Weghorst joins Crystal Palace loanee Jack Butland as Erik ten Hag’s January recruits.
