Burnley boss Vincent Kompany says his involvement in the loan of Wout Weghorst to Manchester United has been 'simple'.
Weghorst was due to fly in to Manchester on Thursday to complete his medical and finalise a half-season loan in time for Saturday's Manchester Derby. United will pay around £2.5million to Besiktas in order for the Turkish club to terminate their loan deal with the Dutchman, covering all wages for the remainder of the campaign also.
The terms of Weghorst's initial loan complicated matters, with no recall clause and instead an option for Besiktas to make the move permanent in the summer. Negotiations involved all three parties, with the Turkish outfit stubborn in their desire to keep a striker that had scored nine goals in the previous 18 games.
