Erik ten Hag will already have run the rule over Wout Weghorst's talents before deciding his fellow Dutchman can be a useful addition to his Manchester United squad.
But if the United boss had any second thoughts over what the 6ft 5ins striker could bring to his side, he can take plenty of reassurance from some of the glowing verdicts Weghorst has received in the recent past. The 30-year-old is poised to complete his short-term loan switch from Burnley after United agreed to pay a £2.5million fee to current loan club Besiktas to break his season-long agreement and take him to Old Trafford.
Weghorst was spotted at Istanbul Airport on Thursday ahead of his flight to Manchester where he will complete the finer details of his move. Ten Hag is keen to get the deal over the line as quickly as possible in the hope he can register Weghorst in time to be involved for Saturday's Manchester derby.
