Manchester United are set to complete the loan signing of Wout Weghorst until the end of the season – but they face a race against the clock to get him involved in the derby this weekend.
Burnley striker Weghorst, 30, is on loan at Besiktas until the end of the season, but the Turkish club are now understood to have accepted £2.5million in compensation to let him join United.
Besiktas want to bring in a replacement for Weghorst before signing off on the deal, with Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar set to join them after leaving Al-Nassr to make way for Cristiano Ronaldo. There are a few moving parts to the deal, which means Weghorst’s involvement in the Manchester derby on Saturday is touch and go.
