Wout Weghorst said he will 'never forget' the phone call in which he learned of his move to Manchester United, as he admitted he hopes he scores his first goal for his new club soon.
The Dutchman's arrival on loan from Burnley for the rest of the season was confirmed last week, following protracted three-way negotiations with the Championship club and Besiktas. United paid around £2.5million compensation for the Turkish club to terminate their season-long loan at the halfway point.
After joining up with the squad on the Sunday, Weghorst made his United debut on Wednesday, starting and playing 69 minutes in the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace. The opportunity to join Erik ten Hag's side is a welcome step up for a striker who saw his Burnley side relegated last season before moving to Turkey, and speaking ahead of Sunday's huge trip to Arsenal, the 30-year-old reflected on the moment he first heard of the move.
