In a video circulating online, Ten Hag was approached by a group of fans for autographs who asked him to sign Mbappe and Bellingham. The former Ajax manager chuckled and told them he would love to but the Red Devils won't have the funds to sanction such moves.

Mbappe is valued at at least 158 million euros while Dortmund would also want an excess of 100 million to let go of their midfield prodigy.

Manchester United are in the market for a new striker following the acrimonious departure of Cristiano Ronaldo. It is however believed that they won't pull out the big books in their pursuit.

Weghorst to Manchester United?

Sports Brief has reported that Dutch striker Wout Weghorst is reportedly one step away from joining Manchester United on a short-term loan. United are on the market to look for Cristiano Ronaldo's replacement and the lanky forward is said to be close to sealing a move to Old Trafford.

Weghorst shared an emotional moment with Besiktas fans on January 7th at the Vodafone Park after their Super Lig match against Kasimpasa SK.

The United Zone believes that it was a farewell message as the Red Devils prepare to wrap up the move in the coming days. Weghorst is a Burnley player who was sent on loan to Besiktas after they were relegated from the Premier League.
