      The Red Devils are eager to secure a short-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo after axing the Portuguese veteran in November.
      According to Turkish outlet A Spor, Weghorst is collecting his things and saying goodbyes at Besiktas this morning before flying back to undergo a medical and sign for Man United.
      The Red Devils will pay around £2.65million for his services until the end of the season.
      The Dutchman arrived in English football 12 months ago, signing for Burnley as a replacement for Newcastle-bound Chris Wood.

      His move didn’t go to plan, however, as he scored just two goals in 20 Premier League appearances as the Clarets were relegated.
      He has since been in fine form after moving to Besiktas, netting nine goals in 18 appearances in all competitions for the Turkish side.
      Weghorst scored against Kasimpasa in his final appearance for Besiktas last Saturday.
      Prior to agreeing a deal, boss Erik ten Hag was warned by Netherlands legend Marco van Basten NOT to sign “too many Dutchmen”.

      He 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.”

      Wesley Sneijder, meanwhile, thinks that the transfer is a “stunt”.
      The 38-year-old told Veronica Offside: “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 any more.
      “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.”
      Weghorst was claimed to have trained away from his Besiktas team-mates earlier this week after suffering with a small groin injury.
      The Red Devils were previously linked with Atletico Madrid star Joao Felix.
      But the Portuguese star joined Chelsea until the end of the season instead. More

      by

      The 19-year-old was on the bench yet again during the club’s 3-0 Carabao Cup win against Charlton.
      He did not make it onto the pitch and had to watch 17-year-old Kobbie Mainoo make his debut at Old Trafford.
      Iqbal is further along in his development than Mainoo but will be thinking about earning more gametime.
      The Iraqi wants to make a temporary move away from Manchester United with a loan this month, according to MEN.

      However, the report suggests that manager Erik ten Hag does not want to leave his squad light on numbers.
      The Dutch manager only has Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, Fred and Scott McTominay, who are older than the youngster.
      With it also being said that coaches think that training with the first team for the remainder of the campaign would be more beneficial for Iqbal and then for him to move on loan in the summer.
      The midfielder, who looks up to former United players Paul Scholes and Angel Gomes, starred for the club in pre-season.

      Fans were full of praise for his performance in the friendly defeat to Spanish side Cadiz back in December.

      Wolves in audacious triple transfer raid for Man Utd’s Wan-Bissaka, West Ham’s Michail Antonio and ex-Prem star Lemina

      by

      WOLVES are stepping up talks with Nice over a £10million move for former Fulham and Southampton midfielder Mario Lemina.However, new boss Julen Lopetegui will have to play the long game if he is to land Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

      Michail Antonio is also a target but West Ham are keen to keep hold of their Premier League record goalscorerCredit: Getty
      Meanwhile West Ham have issued a hands-off warning to the Molineux club, who would love to add Michail Antonio to Lopetegui’s lengthy January shopping list.
      In the meantime, Wolves have made a third approach to Nice about 29-year-old Lemina.
      Lopetegui desperately needs a tried and trusted Premier League midfielder with Boubacar Traore sidelined for up to two months, while Joao Moutinho missed Saturday’s FA Cup tie through injury.
      Wolves have already had bids of £4.4million and £5m knocked back by Nice, who are holding out for their £10m valuation.

      Now Wolves may be forced to bite the bullet and double their offer for Lemina if they are to sign the Premier League ready midfield ace they desperately need.
      However, they will need to show more patience in their long-running pursuit of Wan-Bissaka.
      Wolves are prepared to pay £25m for the full-back who cost United £50m from Crystal Palace in 2019.
      But Wan-Bissaka has impressed Ten Hag since the World Cup break, and with fellow right-back Diogo Dalot currently injured the United boss is stalling as he weighs up his options.

      If Wolves are to get their man, it’s likely Lopetegui will have to play the long game and wait until close to the end of the January transfer window if he is to get his man.
      However, the former Real Madrid and Spain boss looks to have missed out on one major target.
      West Ham have made it clear they have no intention of selling a proven match-winner of Michail Antonio’s calibre to a rival club just one point below them in the table as they try to avoid relegation. More

      But Man Utd will need a new permanent No9 at the end of this season with manager Erik ten Hag keen to do business early.
      The Manchester Evening News report that the club are already eyeing deals for Benfica’s Ramos and Kudus from Ajax.
      Both are reportedly more “attainable” than other options such as Tottenham captain Harry Kane and Napoli’s Victor Oshimen, who would command large fees.
      Ramos could be a natural replacement for Ronaldo – as he was for Portugal at the World Cup.
      READ MORE ON MAN UTD
      The 21-year-old netted a hat-trick against Switzerland in Qatar and is also enjoying a fine season for Benfica, scoring 15 times and assisting seven goals in 25 games.
      Ten Hag reportedly could also look to shop at his former club Ajax again in the summer, having already brought two of his old players, Lisandro Martinez and Antony, to Old Trafford.
      Left-footed Kudus is a versatile forward capable of playing anywhere in the attack and he has scored 10 goals in 21 games for the Amsterdam giants.
      The Ghanaian also found the net twice at the World Cup and is re-discovering top form after spending five months out injured last season.

      The 22-year-old has been linked with a transfer to Tottenham.
      Money is tight at Man Utd this month after a huge £200million-plus summer outlay, meaning a loan deal for Weghorst is expected to be a stop-gap signing as they wait for summer funds.
      On the possible return of Memphis Depay, MEN suggest that Ten Hag would prefer a more marquee signing than the Barcelona man coming back on a free. More

      The Uruguayan has been a fringe player at Old Trafford and only made his debut at the club against Charlton in the Carabao Cup last night.
      Pellestri made his first appearance as a 84th-minute substitute and made a quick impact as he assisted Marcus Rashford for his second goal in the 3-0 win.
      The appearance was a long-awaited one for the 21-year-old as he has been at the club for two-and-a-half years following his 2020 move from Uruguayan side Penarol.
      During his time at United, he has been on loan twice, and could now be set for another spell away.

      Watford are hoping to sign the prospect on loan in order to boost their promotion hopes, according to The Telegraph.
      However, the Hornet will face competition from other English clubs as well as teams from abroad for his signature.
      LaLiga side Valencia are believed to be one of the clubs interested, but want an option to buy him at the end of a loan deal, according to Sport Witness.
      Manager Slaven Bilic needs more depth in his side following a spate of injuries, including one to star attacker Joao Pedro.

      The initial report has suggested that Pellestri’s agent has come to England to sort his future out before the end of the January transfer window.
      United boss Erik ten Hag has been impressed with the player and judging by his words, it would be surprising to see him let Pellestri leave on a permanent deal.
      He said: “I see a future in him and he is doing really well and we have to see what is the best.
      “He’s progressing, also against Everton (in the behind-closed-doors game) I was really happy with his performance, I was happy with his performance in the World Cup, his progress is really good.
      “He’s come on and had an effect so that’s the next step. I say well done, better, and keep going.” More

      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.

      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.

      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
