Sources have told ESPN that United have held discussions with Burnley and Weghorst is keen on the transfer if terms can be agreed.

The 30-year-old scored two Premier League goals for Burnley last season but has scored eight times in 17 appearances for Besiktas this term.

He also scored twice for the Netherlands in their dramatic World Cup quarterfinal against Argentina before Louis van Gaal’s side went out on penalties.
