Former left-back Patrice Evra believes Netherlands international Wout Weghorst has the potential to be a smart signing for Manchester United, comparing him to former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud.
United are in the process of trying to wrap up a loan deal for Weghorst, bringing him in for the remainder of the season from Burnley. He is currently on loan at Turkish giants Besiktas.
United, as reported by the Manchester Evening News last month, plan to use this month's transfer window to bring in a striker on a short-term basis, ahead of investing in a permanent addition this forthcoming summer. Napoli ace Victor Osimhen is already being sounded out as a favourite option among the supporters.
