Former Manchester United first-team coach Rene Meulensteen has suggested that Wout Weghorst would offer something completely different for the Reds if he was to join Erik ten Hag's side.
The Reds are advancing with a potential loan move for the Burnley striker, who is currently on loan at Besiktas. Since making the move to Turkey, he has scored eight goals in 16 games. It is thought that United enquired about the Dutchman on Thursday, however, his current loan side have a €10million option to sign him permanently.
Burnley did not insert a recall clause and Besiktas, who did not pay a loan fee and are covering his wages in full, appear set on keeping hold of the 30-year-old, which could therefore require negotiation between all three clubs.
