    Weghorst seems ready to join the Red Devils on loan in a £2.65million deal but he supposedly missed Besiktas training today with muscle contractions and a groin injury.
    Outlet Fanatik report that he trained away from the rest of the squad in the gym after a fitness setback.
    It is unclear whether it could jeopardise his switch to Man Utd or if it is a precautionary measure.
    Weghorst is supposed to stay at Besiktas on loan from Burnley until the end of the season, but his temporary deal could be cut short to allow him to go to United.

    It has been reported that Erik ten Hag’s side have completed negotiations over signing the player but the Turkish club will only let him go if they bring in a replacement.
    They have been linked with AC Milan striker Divock Origi and Vincent Aboubakar.
    The Cameroonian has just seen his contract at Al Nassr ripped up to facilitate their signing of Ronaldo.
    This means CR7’s exit from Man Utd may have reportedly started a domino effect of transfers involving both Weghorst and Aboubakar.

    Ahead of Weghorst completing his switch back to the Premier League, Holland legends Wesley Sneijder and Marco van Basten both slammed the move.
    Weghorst scored for Besiktas in their 2-1 win over Kasimpasa and appeared to wave goodbye to the fans.
    He has scored nine goals in 18 matches for the club this season.
    During the last campaign, his January arrival at Turf Moor was not enough to keep Burnley in the Prem as he contributed with just two goals and three assists in 20 appearances. More

    Man Utd tipped to seal Edouard Mendy transfer as replacement for David De Gea from Chelsea as he holds contract talks

    LOUIS SAHA has claimed signing Edouard Mendy “would make perfect sense” for Manchester United if David De Gea doesn’t sign a new Old Trafford deal.Spanish stopper De Gea, 32, is out of contract at the end of the season.

    He is reportedly facing a huge pay-cut to his current £375,000-a-week deal in order to stay at the club.
    Although De Gea himself recently claimed he wants to finish his career at Old Trafford amid reports of contract talks.
    But Saha, 44, who spent four years at United, has urged the Red Devils to “take a punt” on Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy if De Gea does leave.
    The Stamford Bridge goalie, 30, has fallen out of favour to Kepa Arrizabalaga in recent months.

    Saha told Football Odds and Betting: “Man United should take a punt on Edouard Mendy if De Gea leaves.
    “De Gea is still right at the top level, but of course making mistakes like he did against Everton is never good.
    “Over the years, De Gea has done tremendous performances to save the team and he deserves the time and credit for that.
    “If De Gea doesn’t sign a new contract then a move for Chelsea goalkeeper Edouard Mendy would make perfect sense.

    “He has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world the last few years and I’m not sure what happened.”
    United do have the option to extend De Gea’s deal by a further year, but are alleged to have opted against triggering the clause.
    Mendy meanwhile recently snubbed a six-year contract offer from Chelsea.
    SunSport exclusively revealed that Mendy turned down the deal because he believed the Blues didn’t show him enough “respect” over wages.
    Mendy earns around £100,000 a week and wants parity with his Blues rival Kepa who picks up almost twice that. More

    Fans all say the same thing as Facundo Pellistri finally makes Man Utd debut in Carabao Cup win against Charlton

    LAST month Facundo Pellistri had played 182 more minutes at the World Cup for Uruguay than he had for Manchester United. However, last night the 21-year-old finally kicked off his United career by coming off the bench in the Carabao Cup quarter-finals.

    A short but sweet debut for the 21-year-old
    Erik ten Hag only granted Pellistri six minutes plus injury time off the bench against Charlton as he replaced Anthony Elanga late on.
    In his short time on the pitch he showed off his dribbling ability before creating Marcus Rashford’s first goal of the night as he became the first United player to score in eight consecutive home games since Wayne Rooney in 2010.

    And his cameo was enough to convince the Old Trafford faithful he deserves more minutes.
    Taking to Twitter, one user said: “Pellistri deserves to play more man. He looks so sharp.”

    A second user wrote: “Pellistri also giving Ten Hag something to think about after that cameo, hopefully he gets more game time, very impressive showing from the Uruguayan.”
    A third said: “Need to see more of Pellestri. Did so well off the bench and got an assist on his debut. Definitely an option moving forward.”
    A fourth user pleaded: “I want to see more of Pellestri!”
    With Pellistri convincing fans he warrants more game time, many called for him to be elevated above Elanga – who played through the middle last night – in the squad pecking order.

    One user’s analysis read: “Facundo Pellistri has to stay & be given a chance at United. He’s a much better option than Elanga. Brings something different from the right-wing.”
    Another user added: “Get Pellestri more game time! Offers more in 5 minutes than Elanga has in 5 months.”
    After finally making his debut following his arrival in October 2020, Pellistri took to Twitter to celebrate.
    He said: “The day has come! 🤯. Happy to make my official debut! ♥️”
    The winger clearly left an impression on Ten Hag as well, with the Dutchman saying: “I see a future in Facundo Pellistri, it’s very clear that he’s progressing.
    “I was also happy with him in the World Cup. Well done, keep going.”
    He added: “He’s come on and had an effect so that’s the next step. I say well done, better, and keep going.”
    According to Jonas Hen Shrag, Pellistri has already “received formal January loan offers” from both Valencia and Flamengo, but considering his impressive debut he may have earned a spot in the team going forward. More

    Erik ten Hag was spotted making a note immediately after one effort
    In another attempt, the 23-year-old kicked the turf before the ball leading to an underwhelming delivery.
    And fans did not take to kindly to the efforts as one viewer, who spotted manager Erik ten Hag making a note after the second gaffe, wrote: “Not sure Malacia will want to see what Ten Hag wrote on his little pad after those two corners.”
    A second commented: “No more corners for Malacia.”
    A third said: “Don’t think Malacia will be on corners for much longer. Kicked the turf before the ball with his first one and spooned the second straight into the stands.”

    A fourth added: “Malacia just took the worst corner I have ever seen in my life.”
    A fifth joked: “You can just tell from these Malacia corners that he’s way too excited to play with Weghorst.”
    Manchester United did take the lead in the game as Anthony netted from range in the 21st minute.
    Charlton are the lowest-ranked side left in the tournament but are up against it if they are to somehow make it to the semi-finals.

    It appears they have found their man after agreeing on a deal with his parent club, Burnley and Besiktas, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano.
    However, he claims that a deal would only be completed once the Turkish club have found a replacement.
    The reporter tweeted: “Manchester United have reached full, verbal agreement to sign Wout Weghorst.
    “Understand deal will cost around €3m (£2.65m) to Besiktas — Weghorst will join on loan from Burnley.

    “Final step needed, Besiktas will only approve the deal if they find the right replacement.”
    However, it appears Ronaldo’s move to Al Nassr has aided United and created a domino effect.
    The Saudi club had to axe a foreign player to make room for the Portuguese star, and cut Vincent Aboubakar loose.
    And Besiktas are now in talks with attacker Aboubakar to be the replacement for Weghorst, according to The Atheltic.

    Weghorst, who appeared to say goodbye to the Besiktas fans after scoring at the weekend, has bagged nine goals in 18 appearances so far this season.
    He will bring a more direct approach to the United attack, with Ten Hag currently relying on Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford as his main forwards.
    If a deal for Weghorst does fall through, the Red Devils have also been linked with moves for Edin Dzeko and Olivier Giroud.
    Red Devils manager Erik ten hag has been warned on the deal as having “too many Dutch people” is “dangerous”.
    Former Dutch international Marco van Basten told Ziggo Sport: “It can become dangerous if you have too many Dutch people and things are not going well. 
    “You also saw that at Barcelona, when they had five Dutch people. Then it will work against you.
    “Ten Hag has to be careful with that.”

    However, Marco van Basten has warned United and Ten Hag that adding to their Dutch core may be detrimental.
    Speaking to Ziggo Sport, Van Basten said: “It can become dangerous if you have too many Dutch people and things are not going well. 
    “You also saw that at Barcelona, when they had five Dutch people. Then it will work against you. Ten Hag has to be careful with that.”
    As well as Ten Hag, summer signing Tyrell Malacia and Donny van de Beek represent the current Dutch contingent at Old Trafford, though that could have been added to in the summer had Frenkie de Jong agreed personal terms.

    Weghorst’s prospective transfer hinges on whether Besiktas will allow him to terminate his loan from Burnley with them early to then move back on loan to United.
    But the legendary forward voiced his “doubts” over whether he was the right fit for the club, and earmarked PSV star Luuk de Jong instead.
    He added: “I have my doubts. Take a look at Luuk de Jong. That is really a striker that you can play through the air.
    “I don’t think Weghorst is very strong in that regard. He can score a header, but he is more of a boy who can do something with his enthusiasm and force.”

    United have been linked with big names such as Victor Osimhen or Harry Kane, but they are understood to be after a short-term solution in January before moving for more ideal targets in the summer.
    Van Basten is not the only Dutch star to have cast a shadow on the move.
    Wesley Sneijder revealed he thought reports of a move were a joke.
    He said: “I think they’ve seen the trick with the free-kick (vs Argentina at the World Cup), so they don’t fall for that in England anymore.
    “In terms of a striker, is he really someone United are waiting for? I don’t think so.
    “They still have 300 of those in the Premier League. It must be a stunt. This really can’t be true.”
    In the meantime, United host Charlton in the League Cup quarter-final with the knowledge of them not winning a trophy since 2017.
    New signing Jack Butland is under consideration with Tom Heaton for the gloves following De Gea’s gaffe at the weekend, while Dutchman Van de Beek is sidelined after a knee injury he picked up in the win over Bournemouth. More

    “You also saw that at Barcelona, when they had five Dutch people. Then it will work against you. Ten Hag has to be careful with that.”
    If United are to sign a Dutchman to play up front, however, Van Basten reckons they should go for former Newcastle flop Luuk de Jong, rather than Weghorst.
