Wout Weghorst was sent back to Burnley at the end of the season after spending the second part of the season at Manchester United.
The huge striker has returned to his parent club and rejoined Vincent Kompany’s first team squad.However, his return was not met with the same enthusiasm by the Burnley faithful.
Weghorst was booed by Burnley fans during his first appearance since his comeback, according to The Sun, in a pre-season friendly against Genk.
Weghorst was bought on late in the second half with his team chasing a goal but was greeted with x-rated chants and roundly booed with each touch of the ball.
Burnley fans are upset that Weghorst opted for a route out of the club after their relegation from the Premier League at the end of the 2021/22 season.
Weghorst left the Clarets on a loan deal to Besiktas before joining United for the second half of last season, where he played 31 times for Ten Hag’s side.
Despite only scoring twice during his spell in Manchester, the big striker will never forget his time at Old Trafford which included winning the Carabao Cup and reaching the FA Cup final.
Whilst Weghorst was away Burnely achieved promotion back to the Premier League, winning the Championship at a canter but have made their feelings clear on the Dutchman.
Weghorst’s future is unknown, but he would be surprised if he stayed at Turf Moor for the upcoming season.
United chose not to make the huge striker’s move permanent, but they are still looking for a center forward.Rasmus Hojlund of Atalanta remains the favorite to join the ranks at Old Trafford, with United in talks with the Italian club about a deal.
