Former Dutch international Wesley Sneijder has taken aim at Manchester United ’s expected move for Wout Weghorst by slamming the transfer as a “stunt” and “very strange”.
The Burnley forward is being eyed by the Red Devils as they aim to bolster their attacking options in the January transfer window. A deal is slightly complicated by the fact that the former Wolfsburg star is currently in the midst of a loan with Turkish giants Besiktas which does not include a break clause.
Regardless, United are trying their hardest to get a deal done before the end of the window and would be willing to pay Besiktas compensation to take him to Old Trafford. Former Netherlands international Sneijder was asked about the transfer and was not left particularly convinced that it makes sense.
