Manchester United are making progress in their bid to sign a striker before the January transfer window closes.
The Red Devils want none other than Burnley flop Wout Weghorst to be Erik ten Hag 's saviour for the second half of the season, with the United manager making it clear long before the window opened that he needed attacking reinforcements. The Dutchman began the month by missing out on top target Cody Gakpo to arch-rivals Liverpool, who gazumped the Red Devils by offering a higher fee up front.
United have since scoured the market, assessing the likes of Joao Felix and Olivier Giroud 's availability, but Ten Hag has now decided on a short-term move for Weghorst, who's currently on loan at Besiktas. The player is keen to come, but it's far from a done deal.
