MANCHESTER UNITED misfit Wout Weghorst delivered a breathtaking goal of the season contender by scoring FOUR times in Twente’s rout of Excelsior.
The 34-year-old striker made a surprising loan move to Old Trafford from Burnley in January 2023.
Though Weghorst started in the Carabao Cup final win against Newcastle just a month later, he managed only two goals in 31 appearances for United.
The Dutch forward seems to have found his best form again, playing a vital role in Twente’s astonishing 9-0 victory over Excelsior.
Weghorst scored four times, including a rapid hat-trick in just 21 minutes during the Eredivisie match.
One of his goals was particularly impressive, featuring a brilliant flick to Younes Taha before finishing the striking move himself.

However, a baffled viewer questioned: “Wout!?? Where the f*** was that when you were at United?”
One fan even shared an AI-generated image of Weghorst with Brazilian legend Ronaldo’s iconic haircut.
His remarkable performance boosted his tally to 11 goals and five assists this season.
Erik ten Hag, his former United manager who was dismissed by the club in 2024, observed the match from the stands.
The former Ajax coach has been managing recruitment since his appointment as Twente’s technical director in February.
Ten Hag has cautioned that United could face relegation after a disastrous start to the season.
