Erik ten Hag has already made it perfectly clear that Wout Weghorst ticks all his boxes as a striker.
The Manchester Evening News reported on Saturday that United are advancing with a potential loan move for Weghorst. The 30-year-old Burnley forward, currently on loan at Besiktas, is being eyed by the club as they look to find a short-term solution to their striker crisis following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
After spending £225million in the summer transfer window, Ten Hag has been warned against a repetition of the kind of expenditure that saw six new signings arrive at Old Trafford before the September 1 deadline - regardless of the £16m wage bill reduction that came with Ronaldo's exit.
