Man Utd fan's rant after being mugged off by Burnley's Weghorst on FIFA re-emerges
Burnley might still be bottom of the Premier League following their 1-1 draw with Manchester United on Tuesday night, but The Clarets look to have uncovered a major asset in the shape of new signing Wout Weghorst.
The 29-year-old Dutch striker arrived at Turf Moor on transfer deadline day, having completed a £12.6 million switch from Wolfsburg.
Despite bagging a creditable 59 goals in 118 Bundesliga appearances for his former side, Weghorst was far from a familiar name to English supporters when he agreed to make the switch to Lancashire.
The player raised his profile hugely on his home Premier League debut, though, helping Burnley secure a much-needed point with a Man of the Match display.
Sean Dyche’s men fell behind on the night to a fine first-half strike from Paul Pogba. However, the hosts were level just two minutes into the second period, thanks in part to a piece of individual brilliance from Weghorst.
Turning United captain Harry Maguire with ease after a fantastic touch, Weghorst played a perfectly weighted through ball for Jay Rodriguez to equalise.

Jay Rodriguez puts Man Utd to the sword and that could be a huge goal for Burnley!
