Manchester United supporters have been quick to draw comparisons between Wout Weghorst and former midfielder Marouane Fellaini after discovering that Weghorst will wear the number 27 for the club.
United announced on Friday that they had reached an agreement with Burnley and Besiktas to sign the 30-year-old striker. Weghorst's parent club is Burnley but he had been on a season-long loan at the Turkish giants this season.
However, when the Reds made an approach for the forward Besiktas initially refused to allow the Dutchman to return to Turf Moor to complete a switch to Old Trafford. Eventually, the three parties agreed a deal that sees Weghorst join United until the end of the campaign.
