Wout Weghorst has been spotted at Old Trafford watching on as his new side plays in the Manchester derby.
The 6’6″ Dutch striker just completed a loan move to Manchester United who is looking for a short-term solution to their forward issue.
The club was left without a proper number nine after Cristiano Ronaldo’s contract was terminated because of an interview with Piers Morgan. The Portuguese striker burnt all his bridges at the club and United had no choice but to let him go.
Weghorst was on loan at Besiktas from Burnley but had his contract terminated so that he could join Erik ten Hag’s side.
CONFIRMED: Weghorst is a Man Utd player ✅️
Weghorst: “I’ve seen United’s progress under Erik ten Hag this season and can’t wait to start playing my part in pushing the team towards its aims.”
