Again, the No.27 is also registered to a loanee, meaning it is currently available. It is another number that has been worn by several household names in the past, including Nemanja Vidic and It is usually associated with an attacker but some may question whether the player has the cachet to command one of the most iconic squad numbers in football. Like Bailly's No.3, the No.16 is currently available because of its occupier, Amad, being out on loan. Former attackers Gabriel Obertan and Shinji Kagawa have worn it in the past. Available following Eric Bailly's season-long loan move to Marseille last summer, the No.3 is currently up for grabs at Old Trafford. It was, arguably most famously, worn by former attacker Ji-sung Park for the duration of his United career. Below, MEN Sport has taken a close look at just some of the numbers currently up for grabs: [Weghorst](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/wout-weghorst), formerly of Wolfsburg, will become United's second signing of the January transfer window, following the arrival of Jack Butland from Crystal Palace last week.

Nevertheless, the club are doing all they can to sign him on loan for the remainder of the season and strengthen their attacking options. It means United now face something of a demanding period before the end of January. I want United to play this as a derby, but they have to stick to the plan. The report claims that the Reds were interested in his signature last summer, ahead of signing Lisandro Martinez, but were put off by his €45 million buy-out clause. The Reds welcome City to Old Trafford in red-hot form, winning each of their last eight matches. "What I want in this game is, first of all, to forget that other match because it was horrific, and I also want them to respect the plan. Henderson, of course, is on loan at Forest from United and is not allowed to play against his parent club, unless special permission is granted. We haven’t really had a chance to breathe since the game. I don't expect United to control the game because if they want to play to have possession of the ball against City they are going to lose. Depay had been touted as a potential target for United before their pursuit of Wout Weghorst. I want them to stick to the plan. [Erik ten Hag's](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/all-about/erik-ten-hag) side now go into Saturday's Manchester derby full of confidence and on good form while City have hit yet another stumbling block.

However, United are now in a race against time ahead of this weekends huge match at Old Trafford. Weghorst has a fair amount of goals in Turkey this season and scored for the Netherlands at the World Cup. The player arrived from Turkey in England on Thursday afternoon ahead of his medical.

Turkish giants Besiktas reportedly want to sign Wolves centre-forward Raul Jimenez to replace Wout Weghorst, who is set to join Manchester United this week.

[Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wout-weghorst/profil/spieler/228645) currently value Jimenez at approximately £10.5million, but for a winter deal to take place you would expect an offer in excess of that would be required from Besiktas. In the Premier League, he has been a shadow of his former self, failing to score at all. As for the rumours linking Jimenez to a move to Turkey, this could be a win-win situation for both the player and Wolves. A deal could allow the Mexico international to regain some form and confidence, while Wolves could recoup some transfer funds to do their own business this winter. Mexico international Jimenez has been a key player for Wolves in the past but has struggled to find form in the Premier League this season. As a result, Jimenez has fallen behind the likes of Diego Costa, Hwang Hee-chan and Goncalo Guedes in the pecking order, so Wolves may consider selling him this winter.

There is also now a distinct lack of height in United's attack and Weghorst's 6'4 frame will add another dimension to what is already becoming a very impressive group of players. Some fans are only familiar with his work at Burnley in the second half of the 2021/22 season. United are loaning him directly from Burnley and have paid Besiktas £2.5m for the inconvenience of losing the player mid-season. There are very mixed opinions as to whether this is a good move for United or not. Here is how the situation of Weghorst to The termination of his contract during the 2022 Qatar World Cup meant United were extremely light when it came to a centre forward.

Speaking last weekend, Patrice Evra said he wants United to sign a striker who gets “ugly” goals and not one that looks pretty on the pitch with no output.

Of course, the quality of league needs to be taken into account and actually Martial’s five goals having had just seven starts isn’t a bad return. His nodded flicks for the on-running Marcus Rashford and Antony could be utilised well. Weghorst also offers a notable asset that Martial hasn’t shown this season - aerial ability. As a result, United have had to look into the loan market and find a cheap makeshift back-up striker for Anthony Martial. That doesn’t matter though, it's the end result that counts. Another appealing aspect is his recent rate of fire.
