Manchester United have completed the signing of Burnley striker Wout Weghorst on loan until the end of the season after his temporary spell at Besiktas was terminated
Erik ten Hag made no secret of the fact he wanted to strengthen his squad with a striker following the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo
Besiktas confirmed Weghorst's loan spell had been ended by mutual consent with the Turkish club saying they will receive a £2.5m compensation fee, paving the way for the 30-year-old to move to Old Trafford after Man Utd paid Burnley £2.6m
United will cover the striker's wages and there is no option or obligation to buy.
"I feel privileged to be joining Manchester United," Weghorst said.
"I've played against the club in the past and it's a fantastic feeling to now have the chance to pull on the famous red shirt.
"I've seen United's progress under Erik ten Hag this season and can't wait to start playing my part in pushing the team towards its aims."
