Former Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has already made it very clear he rates Wout Weghorst ahead of the striker's move to Old Trafford.
Weghorst has cleared out his Besiktas locker and left Istanbul to travel to Manchester to complete his medical with the Red Devils. The Dutchman emerged as a surprise transfer target for Erik ten Hag this month, with the United boss approving a loan deal for the striker for the remainder of the season.
United have been prioritising signing a striker this month after Cristiano Ronaldo – who completed a stunning move to Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr – left Old Trafford in November. The Portuguese superstar ended his relationship with the Red Devils by mutual consent following a bombshell interview with Piers Morgan.
