Weghorst to Manchester United?

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.
