At first glance, the prospect of Manchester United signing Netherlands international Wout Weghorst is not likely to generate too much excitement.
The striker, who is currently on loan at Turkish giants Besiktas from Burnley, has already celebrated his 30th birthday, has previously struggled to make an impact in the Premier League and is not who you would consider as a sexy signing, certainly not for a club of United's stature. He is a tall, physical and imposing figure, just as he proved when he stepped off the bench in the Netherlands' thrilling World Cup quarter-final against Argentina in Qatar last month.
But although he is almost certainly not going to be a signing that increases shirt sales inside the Old Trafford Megastore, he is a potential addition to Erik ten Hag's squad that the latter has earned the right to choose. Ten Hag was brave in his decisions to recruit the likes of Lisandro Martinez and Christian Eriksen during the summer and they have quickly blossomed into two of the Reds' most important players.
