Weghorst is set to join United on a temporary deal until the end of the season after the Red Devils agreed to pay Besiktas £2.5m to shorten his loan move from Burnley.
Besiktas are eager to bring in a replacement for Weghorst before allowing him to leave, but after cutting him out of their last squad, it seems they are set to lose him imminently.

Weghorst will now have a chance to improve on his Premier League record, which saw him score just twice in 20 games for Burnley in the final period before the Clarets fell out of the Championship.
