After a fallout with Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo found it hard to get a European club. The Portuguese skipper finally decided to make a move to Saudi Arabia to join Al Nassr. However, the club failed to register him since they had exhausted their quota of overseas players. The only way to get Ronaldo registered was by releasing one of the foreign players with the axe falling on the Cameroon striker.
Ten Hag targets Dutch striker for Manchester United
Ten Hag is in the hunt for a striker as a cover for Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial. While Rashford has been scoring important goals for the club, Martial has been unable to complete the full 90 minutes. Weghorst was signed by Burnley from Wolfsburg on Transfer Deadline Day in January 2022 on a three-and-half-year deal.

Ten Hag while talking about bringing in a new striker said, “There is a reason. It is because he (Martial) cannot manage the load. This is why we are looking for another striker. It is not about us not relying on him. His physical load is not, at this moment, so high that he can play every third day a game of 90 minutes. So I have to manage that together with him”.
Coming to Rashford, the Dutch manager said, “Also, Marcus Rashford benefits from that. So I am not concerned that only Marcus is scoring goals, because I am convinced the other players can score too”.

Manager of the Turkish outfit Senol Gunes had also cleared his stand on the Dutch striker. He said “Weghorst is an important player for us. It is not enough to say goodbye to the audience. He also needs to talk to the club. I have heard of a development, but it is not clear. I’ll consider him leaving after I talk to both him and the club.”
