Manchester United icon Ruud van Nistelrooy has given Wout Weghorst a glowing endorsement and is "convinced" the Dutch striker will be a hit at Old Trafford following his surprise loan switch.
Erik ten Hag has been scouring the transfer market for attacking reinforcements after Cristiano Ronaldo left the club last month and Weghorst, 30, emerged as a target at the start of the January transfer window.
The Burnley forward scored just twice after joining the Clarets last January in a £12million deal from Wolfsburg but caught the eye for Netherlands at the World Cup in Qatar. He also impressed during the first half of the season on loan at Besiktas, where he scored nine goals in 18 outings.
