Wout Weghorst’s reaction to being back training with Burnley has got fans talking on social media.
The 6ft6 Dutch striker first joined Burnley from German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg back in January 2022 in a deal worth a reported £12 million.
After scoring just twice in 20 matches for the Clarets, Weghorst was loaned out to Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas ahead of the 22/23 season before joining Manchester United in January.

Weghorst was included in the Netherlands squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar and scored in the quarter-final clash against Argentina.
After the tournament, United showed their interest during the January transfer window.
However, Weghorst only managed to score twice in 31 appearances across all competitions, having scored nine in 18 matches for Besiktas in the first part of the campaign.
