The 6’6 striker has been on loan in Turkey at Besiktas this season, but has decided to cut it short and join the Red Devils until the end of the season.
According to the Turkish media, Weghorst visited the Besiktas board on Thursday morning to sign papers that would terminate his loan agreement at the club.
He scored nine goals in 18 appearances in all competitions for the Black Eagles, and appeared to wave goodbye to the club after he scored the winner in Saturday’s 2-1 Super Lig victory over Kasimpasa.
Weghorst also scored twice against Argentina in the Netherlands’ World Cup quarter-final defeat in Qatar.

He'll join on loan for 6 months after a €3M fee was agreed with Besiktas.

If all goes well today, United hope that Weghorst will train with the team before the weekend with the Red Devils aiming to have completed his registration by midday on Friday, which would make him available for Saturday’s Manchester Derby.
Erik ten Hag has been searching for a striker replacement since the termination of Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract at the club during the World Cup after his controversial interview with Piers Morgan on TalkTv.
