Man Utd flop Wout Weghorst shows off dramatic new look as he re-joins Burnley as fans joke ‘announce relegation’
MANCHESTER UNITED flop Wout Weghorst showed off his dramatic new look on his return to Burnley.
The striker had a tough spell on loan at the Red Devils last season, scoring just twice in 31 games.
He is now back at his parent club after United opted not to sign him permanently.
Weghorst returned to Burnley‘s training ground for the first time this morning to begin his pre-season work.
The Dutchman was interviewed on his way in and was asked how it feels to be back.
Weghorst joked it was “the same” and hoped to bring the Clarets success as it becomes increasingly likely he will remain at Turf Moor next season.
Meanwhile, fans were left distracted by his new hairstyle.
Weghorst has dyed his hair bleach blonde and was quizzed on his new look.
He replied: “It was the sun in Ibiza. No, I changed it over, I have tried something new.”
Weghorst was part of the Burnley squad that went down in 2022 after he netted just two goals following a £12million move in January.

He then left for Besiktas on loan after their relegation before going to United.
Burnley supporters have mixed opinions on his return with one saying: “Announce relegation.”
Another added: “He’s only back because we are now in the Premier League and no one else wants him, doesn’t deserve to wear our shirt. He’s got a lot to prove.”
Others disagreed, saying: “Redemption arc coming.”
A second reacted: “The king is back, will be a real asset this season.”
