MANCHESTER UNITED’s Wout Weghorst, currently on loan, delivered an extraordinary performance by scoring FOUR goals during Twente’s overwhelming win against Excelsior.
The 34-year-old forward made an unexpected loan move to Old Trafford from Burnley in January 2023.
Despite featuring in the Carabao Cup final win against Newcastle a month later, he only managed two goals in 31 appearances for United.
The Dutch striker seems to have found his rhythm again, significantly aiding Twente in their incredible 9-0 rout of Excelsior.
Weghorst’s four goals included a remarkable hat-trick achieved in just 21 minutes during the Eredivisie match.
One noteworthy goal featured an impressive flick to Younes Taha before he completed the brilliant move himself.

However, a puzzled viewer asked: “Wout!?? Where was that performance when you were at United?”
One fan even shared an AI-generated image of Weghorst with Brazilian legend Ronaldo’s iconic haircut.
His superb display has increased 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, was present to watch the match from the stands.
The former Ajax coach has been in charge of recruitment since he took on the role of Twente’s technical director in February.
Ten Hag has warned that United may be at risk of relegation following a disastrous start to the season.
