Manchester United confirm loan deal for Wout Weghorst
Manchester United have confirmed that they have signed experienced forward Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley for the rest of the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.
A deal for the Netherlands international had been complicated by the fact that he was on loan at Besiktas from Burnley, with the forward expected to spend the rest of the season with the Turkish outfit.
However, he terminated his loan agreement with Besiktas in order to free himself up for a switch to Old Trafford.
The 30-year-old has moved to the 20-time English champions on loan for the rest of the season, but he will not be able to make his debut in Saturday’s Manchester derby with Manchester City.
However, the Dutchman could feature in next week’s contest with Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
Weghorst had been in strong form for Besiktas during the 2022-23 campaign, scoring nine goals and registering four assists in 18 appearances in all competitions.
The centre-forward moved to Burnley from Wolfsburg last January, scoring twice and registering three assists in 20 appearances for the Clarets in the Premier League.
However, he departed Turf Moor on loan following the team’s relegation to the second tier of English football.
