sounds like Weghorst to United on loan is going to get done, once Besiktas can figure out his replacement. Can't say I'm all too thrilled about it or that I particularly like Weghorst as an option, but they desperately need another option up front and Weghorst offers an element that they don't have right now. I'd still prefer signing someone like Thuram, but it seems like they are only doing loans this January ... so as a stop-gap option until the season, fine. Better prepare to sign a proper striker in the summer though.
Plus I'm firmly in the "whatever Erik wants to do" camp. He's been unbelievably quick to earn my full trust as a manager, so if he thinks he can make this work, then I'm all for it.
