Fans say ‘thanks but no thanks’ as Man Utd make permanent Wout Weghorst transfer decision after Burnley loan
MANCHESTER UNITED supporters have provided their response after reports emerged that Wout Weghorst will not be offered a permanent deal.
The 30-year-old Dutch forward shone for his country at the World Cup and that led to his surprise switch to Old Trafford in January.
Man Utd have reportedly made a decision on Wout Weghorst’s futureRex
The star joined United on loan from Burnley and started the first 19 matches that he was available for under Erik ten Hag.
He also became a favourite with fans due to his hard-working displays but he has only managed to score twice for the club – although none of which came from his 13 Premier League outings.
Weghorst has found himself dropped to the bench over recent weeks but The Telegraph claim that he wants to stay at United this summer.
However, they also add that no talks have even started over a permanent deal and another report from the Manchester Evening News claims that he will be set for disappointment.
They say that United have already decided that they will not make a move to sign him.
And Ten Hag has allegedly instead drawn-up a four-man shortlist for a replacement striker.
Now supporters have been reacting to that news and, despite their admiration for the efforts of the 6ft 6in target man, it was almost a universal “thanks but no thanks”.
One tweeted: “Been a good loan he’s given his all but definitely doesn’t merit a permanent deal.”

Another wrote: “They should not continue with him. Just buy a quality striker and use [Anthony] Martial as your back-up.”
A fellow fan commented: “This guy can’t score a goal. I like him but I only have an issue with him when it comes to scoring goals.”
As another simply commented: “Thanks Wout… but NO THANKS!”
Weghorst still has two years remaining on his contract at newly-promoted Burnley having joined the Clarets for £12.5million from Wolfsburg in January 2022
