Burnley forward Wout Weghorst has returned for pre-season training following his loan at Manchester United.

Weghorst’s future is uncertain, having been linked with the likes of Everton and Galatasaray earlier in the window.

But the Dutchman now seems to have hinted that he could remain in East Lancashire in a video on the club’s social media channels.

When asked what he is most looking forward to, he simply stated: "To be successful at Burnley".

Weghorst joined the Clarets from German outfit Wolfsburg in January 2022 for a reported £12million fee.

The towering striker scored twice in 20 appearances at Turf Moor as the club was relegated to the Championship.

He joined Turkish side Besiktas on loan the following summer – a move he felt was necessary to make the Netherlands squad for the World Cup in Qatar.

Speaking ahead of the World Cup, Weghorst explained: “I had my thoughts about it before I moved to Burnley half-a-year ago. The World Cup is coming up and that's a really important thing for me.

"It's my biggest dream, I think it's the highest you can achieve as a professional football player.

“We have a trainer who has clear thoughts on playing at the highest level so he's really strict about it. If I wanted to be there I had to make a decision.”

The 30-year-old was included in Louis van Gaal’s squad and scored a brace against eventual winners Argentina in the quarter-final.

After the tournament, his loan in Turkey was cut short so he could head to Manchester United for the remainder of the season.

Weghorst played 31 times for Erik ten Hag’s side, scoring against Nottingham Forest and Real Betis in the Carabao Cup and Europa League respectively.

The forward's last game for United was the FA Cup final against Manchester City on June 3. He also played against Croatia and Italy in the Nations League last month.
