Man United in shock talks to sign Burnley flop Wout Weghorst on loan with Erik ten Hag still searching for Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement after missing out on Cody Gakpo to Liverpool

Manchester United have held talks over signing Wout Weghorst on loan from Burnley.

The Holland international, who scored twice against Argentina in last month's World Cup, including one from a clever free-kick, is currently on loan for the season at Besiktas in Turkey but could cut it short after emerging as an option for United boss Erik Ten Hag.

United have been exploring a number of loan possibilities this month with their January finances limited. However, they have been struggling to find the right target with most favoured options only available on permanent transfers.
