Man United fan comes up with theory as to why they'll win the league if Wout Weghorst signs for them

A Manchester United fan has come up with an outrageous theory as to why they will win the Premier League should Wout Weghorst sign for them.

And it appears he's found his man in the shape of Weghorst, who's on loan at Besiktas from Burnley.

Man United fans look to be on board with the transfer of the 30-year-old after a Twitter user shared a theory regarding a couple of the club's past Premier League triumphs.

With Weghorst closing in on a shock move to Old Trafford, he could continue the trend of Man United winning the league 10 years apart, with a Dutchman in their ranks.

The tweet reads: "2002/03: Ruud Van Nistelrooy won the Premier League with Man United.

"2012/13: Robin Van Persie won the Premier League with Man United.

"2022/23: Wout Weghorst wins the Premier League with Man United?"

Needless to say, the post got Man United fans optimistic as they talked up their title aspirations.

One tweeted: "People don't get it, we are 9 points that's only 3 games, we still in a title race for me."

A second wrote: "It's still a long way, but certainly not impossible."

A third added: "Second half of the season, we’re doing a title charge."

A fourth joked: "His name lacks a van, maybe even should opt for some Dutch striker with van in his name."

Another commented: "I’m convinced. Bring him here."

And Van Nistelrooy won the Golden Boot in 2003, bagging 25 goals.

Will Weghorst inspire Man United to league glory? Watch this space.
