When Manchester United signed Wout Weghorst there was a logic, but a lack of quality. The striker was a means to an end transfer but ultimately one that failed.

The Dutchman did not find the net in a Premier League game and has now returned to Burnley. The Old Trafford hope was a big name, big money summer striker signing.

Weghorst 2.0 is required. And in Mehdi Taremi, United have a player capable of being what they hoped Weghorst would be. The Porto striker has been a target for Everton and Newcastle United and is open to a Premier League move.
