The Turkish side’s sporting director recently detailed a chain of events that could result in Weghorst moving to Old Trafford. Since making that return, the winger's attention has turned to winning a place in the starting line-up and that is his next challenge, although considering the players currently ahead of him, that might be another mountain to climb. FootMercato’s Santi Aouna reported Weghorst has ‘agreed’ to join Man Utd, and also stated Besiktas have opened talks with his direct replacement – Vincent Aboubakar. Aboubakar thrived during two previous stints at Besiktas. He plundered 35 goals in 67 outings while on loan in the 2016-17 campaign and when signed outright for the 2020-21 season.

Regardless, a move for the 30-year-old Dutchman does appear to be on the cards following the latest out of France. Weghorst agrees to join Man Utd; Besiktas move for replacement That should be no surprise when analysing his Dortmund statistics, as he scored 20 goals from the left wing in 3,099 minutes and 24 goals from the right wing in 5,265 minutes during his four years spent playing in Germany. The concern is whether he will ever actually return to the form that established him as one of Europe's finest youth prospects, as Sancho contributed 50 goals and 64 assists for Dortmund but he's only managed 10 goals and four assists for United.It will be his third year at Manchester United and time to prove he can become a successful signing.

While the article talks about “Konopka’s Reds” and the programme’s “rewind” feature describes Konopka as the Ladies’ team “manager”, United officials say his role was a voluntary one and that he had no official involvement in the running of the team. His arrival at Old Trafford won’t set pulses racing, though neither did Odion Ighalo’s when signing on loan at the beginning of 2021 and he proved a worthy short-term fix at the time.The Burnley frontman is in the middle of a season-long loan with Besiktas and the deal doesn’t contain a break clause. As such, United must negotiate agreements with both Burnley and Besiktas. Sancho had the opportunity to start on the right against Fulham in the FA Cup and he was quiet throughout the game until he eventually switched flanks, which saw him win the penalty for the first goal and have a part to play in the second.

Cheaper loan options have been touted, most notably Vincent Aboubakar and more recently Wout Weghorst. Sancho had spent three months away from the pitch and he looked delighted to make his return against Nottingham Forest in the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford, where he received a heartwarming reception from thousands of supporters. Jadon Sancho struggled to control the wide smile etched across his face after making his Manchester United return last month.
