Manchester United have been warned by Besiktas they will only be able to sign Wout Weghorst if the Turkish club find a suitable replacement.
The Red Devils are aiming to secure a short-term loan deal for the Dutch striker between now and the end of the January transfer window with Erik ten Hag approving the move. There are some slight complications though, with Weghorst currently in the midst of a season-long loan in Turkey.
There is currently no break clause included in the deal with Man Utd now forced to hold talks with both Burnley and Besiktas in an effort to get a move over the line. Reports have suggested a deal is already agreed in principle with the Championship side. Yet Besiktas will only allow the 30-year-old forward to depart Istanbul should they find an adequate alternative.
