Wout Weghorst, the Dutch striker who has been linked with a move to Manchester United, will not be granted the number 7 shirt that is now available since the Red Devils have already set their sights on acquiring another player through the transfer market.

In the recent days, Manchester United has fast sped in the winter transfer market by quickly signing goalkeeper Jack Butland from Crystal Palace on loan. This move was made by quickly signing Butland from Crystal Palace.

Shortly after that, the Old Trafford team continued to stun the media and the fans by making touch with Burnley striker Wout Weghorst.

The Dutch striker is currently playing for Besiktas on loan from another club, and he has been in outstanding form so far this season, with a record of nine goals scored in 18 matches for Turkey’s top team. Besiktas defeated Kasimpasa by a score of 2-1 over the weekend, and one of these goals was scored in the match. In that game, Weghorst bade farewell to the Besiktas faithful, and this can be interpreted as a clue that the 30-year-old striker is getting ready to sign with Manchester United in the not-too-distant future.

According to information that was cited by a writer from Foot Mercato named Fabrizio Romano, the acquisition of Wout Weghorst from Burnley will include an option to acquire him outright for a price of 10 million euros.

The striker, who was born in 1992, is extremely ready to dock at Old Trafford to rebuild himself in the English Premier League. The ultimate decision will be made by both Besiktas and Burnley, but Besiktas will have the final say.

Because Weghorst is under contract with Besiktas until the end of the current campaign, Manchester United will have to negotiate a deal with both Burnley and the Turkish club before it will be able to add the nearly two-meter-tall monster striker to its roster. Attempt to assassinate Coach Ten Hag. It is quite possible that everything will be sorted out within the next few days, and Weghorst will soon become MU’s second rookie to join the team during the winter transfer window.

The following inquiry will concern the jersey number that Weghorst will don at Old Trafford.

There are now a significant number of unclaimed numbers on the Red Devils’ roster that the 30-year-old superstar might be assigned to if he were to join the team.

These are the numerals that appear on the shirts: 7, 13, 15, 16, 24, 26, 27, and 30. The shirt with the number 7, which is MU’s renowned shirt number and is well known, is without a doubt the most expensive of these items due to the fact that it has been recognised. late in the previous year, Cristiano Ronaldo handed up his resignation.

However, it is quite unlikely that Wout Weghorst will be handed the number 7 shirt at Manchester United.

The striker, who is 30 years old, is not a superstar player, and the most essential reason is that the Red Devils leadership has reserved the number 7 shirt for a striker who is being reserved by coach Ten Hag. a special interest at the January market. a specific interest at the January market.

Joao Felix, a striker who is currently employed by Atletico Madrid, is the one whose name has been brought up in this context.

Joao Felix will be given the opportunity to wear the number 7 shirt for Manchester United, as was reported by Portuguese media, notably A Bola. It is common knowledge that Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold discussed with the striker who is 23 years old his goal to sign this player as well as the renowned number 7 shirt that the club has reserved for “Cristiano Ronaldo’s heir” at the club. This is Old Trafford.

The fact that Manchester United has taken this action demonstrates that the club has no plans to give up on its long-term goal of acquiring Joao Felix.

A number of reliable sources in the United Kingdom recently stated that Manchester United made the decision to back out of the Joao Felix loan deal after coming to the realisation that it was unable to meet the unreasonable financial conditions imposed by Atletico Madrid.

It is common knowledge that the club managed by Diego Simeone is looking for a transfer fee of no less than 12 million euros in exchange for Joao Felix’s loan of his services for a period of six months, with the option to purchase him out for roughly 80 million euros.

Even if Wout Weghorst were to sign with Manchester United in the month of January, the Dutch player would not automatically be given the right to wear the number 7 jersey at Old Trafford.

It can be affirmed that the acquisition of Wout Weghorst does not affect the Red Devils’ ambition to own Joao Felix because chief executive officer Richard Arnold actively reserved the team’s legendary number 7 shirt for money. The director was once known as “the successor of Cristiano Ronaldo”.
