Giant striker Wout Weghorst has earned himself a huge pay rise with his shock loan move to Manchester United.
The 6ft 6in Holland international had already enjoyed an increase on his £60,000 a week Burnley earnings with a summer loan switch to Besiktas, the leading Turkish side tempting the 30-year-old with a salary upgrade.
Now United have pushed his earnings even higher to around double what he was banking at Turf Moor to bring the forward in line with the salaries of the Old Trafford first team squad. It’s no wonder that Weghorst was determined to cut his season long loan in Istanbul short when United boss Erik ten Hag registered his interest in signing his fellow Dutchman.
