Wout Weghorst is on the verge of being signed by Manchester United.
United are waiting to find out if Besiktas will agree to cut short his loan in order to get it done. It is believed that the player wants to go to Old United.
Weghorst will see out his season-long loan if the club is compensated.

It's no secret that United want to sign a No 9 and Weghorst would be an option they don't have in the squad - a physical presence and a strong scoring record at club and international level.
The 6ft 6in forward has nine goals in 18 games for Besiktas this season and scored the winning goal in the Super Lig victory over Kasimpasa. He waved an emotional goodbye to the fans after scoring.
He's an important player for us. Say goodbye to the audience isn't enough. Besiktas head coach Senol Gunes said after the match that he needed to talk to the club.
It is not clear if I have heard of it. After I talk to him and the club, I will consider leaving.
In the summer, United were in the market for a player of Weghorst's profile and were interested in the other two players.
It is thought that a loan move is United's priority before they revisit the position in the summer.
If Weghorst is to be available for the derby, he must be registered by Friday.

The manager of Manchester United said on Friday that he needs to bring in attacking cover for MarcusRashford and Anthony Martial.
Martial has not been able to play 90 minutes this season because of an injury- interrupted campaign.
There is a reason that Martial has been taken out of the game. He cannot manage the load. We are looking for a new forward.
We aren't relying on him. He is able to play every third day for 90 minutes because of his physical load. I have to work with him on that.
The qualities of Anthony Martial are so important that we are on a thin line. Let's not forget that. That profile is needed to be a threat.
MarcusRashford benefits from that. I'm not worried that Marcus is the only one who is scoring goals.
Antony scored in the FA Cup win againstEverton. Bruno is capable of scoring and Christian is capable of creating. More players are capable of scoring goals.
This winter, who will be moving? The January transfer window closes at 11pm on January 31st.
