"His link-up play and the problems he caused all day kept Burnley in a position on the field where they could cause problems," Wright said. “When you see the position he takes up for his goal, it is fantastic, and the calmness with the way he took it. While Weghorst may not end up as a regular starter, he gives United a different option to Anthony Martial and [Marcus Rashford](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/marcus-rashford), neither of whom have ever really staked a serious claim they are the permanent answer in the lead striker role.

This is one area where Weghorst could also be of greater benefit to the team as a collective. If you saw the game, you would have seen he is a lively boy. Despite scoring just twice in 20 appearances for Burnley last season, on their way to relegation, Weghorst has found the net eight times in 16 games for Besiktas this season. [Liverpool](https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/liverpool-fc) manager Jurgen Klopp - who was due to face the striker the following weekend - said: "They [Burnley] brought in a new striker. And it is Weghorst's all-round game which could prove most valuable to United and Ten Hag's philosophy.

Turkish giants Besiktas reportedly want to sign Wolves centre-forward Raul Jimenez to replace Wout Weghorst, who is set to join Manchester United this week.

[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wout-weghorst/profil/spieler/228645) currently value Jimenez at approximately £10.5million, but for a winter deal to take place you would expect an offer in excess of that would be required from Besiktas. In the Premier League, he has been a shadow of his former self, failing to score at all. As for the rumours linking Jimenez to a move to Turkey, this could be a win-win situation for both the player and Wolves. A deal could allow the Mexico international to regain some form and confidence, while Wolves could recoup some transfer funds to do their own business this winter. Mexico international Jimenez has been a key player for Wolves in the past but has struggled to find form in the Premier League this season. As a result, Jimenez has fallen behind the likes of Diego Costa, Hwang Hee-chan and Goncalo Guedes in the pecking order, so Wolves may consider selling him this winter.

Speaking last weekend, Patrice Evra said he wants United to sign a striker who gets “ugly” goals and not one that looks pretty on the pitch with no output.

Of course, the quality of league needs to be taken into account and actually Martial’s five goals having had just seven starts isn’t a bad return. His nodded flicks for the on-running Marcus Rashford and Antony could be utilised well. Weghorst also offers a notable asset that Martial hasn’t shown this season - aerial ability. As a result, United have had to look into the loan market and find a cheap makeshift back-up striker for Anthony Martial. That doesn’t matter though, it's the end result that counts. Another appealing aspect is his recent rate of fire.
