Vincent Kompany has already hinted that Wout Weghorst could be thrown a lifeline by Burnley, with Manchester United set to pass on the opportunity to turn the striker's loan deal into a permanent one.
Plenty of eyebrows were raised back in January when Erik ten Hag opted to pursue the 30-year-old, with United shelling out £2.5million in compensation to Besiktas in order to take over Weghorst's contract until the end of the season.
And although the Dutchman has regularly praised Weghorst's link-up play and his commendable work rate, a dearth of goals (two in 26 appearances) looks set to scupper the striker's hopes of clinching a dream transfer to Old Trafford in the summer.
