The Dutch striker, who joined the Red Devils on Friday, was present for yesterday’s 2-1 victory over Manchester City with the Man Utd shirt number of Wout Weghorst leaked
For the remainder of the season, Wout Weghorst has been loaned to Manchester United. Weghorst had spent the entire season on loan at Besiktas, but United paid the Turkish team £ 2.5 million in damages to end the arrangement. Additionally, United will pay Burnley about £2.6 million to borrow him.
The 30-year-old might play his first United game on Wednesday at Crystal Palace. Now that the shirt number he might be sporting has been made public earlier than expected.

What jersey no will Weghorst be wearing?
According to online leaks, the newcomer to Manchester United will don the No. 27 jersey at Old Trafford. The international player from the Netherlands has joined the team on loan for the rest of the season. Erik ten Hag is confident in his compatriot’s potential to be a big success, thus he plans to fight Anthony Martial for a starting position.
Weghorst has lately arrived at Manchester United, and the Burnley failure is ready for another chance at Premier League redemption. Additionally, a picture posted by @robert claus reveals that the Netherlands international will wear jersey No. 27.
The picture appears to be from Weghorst’s formal introduction, as the club typically films videos with new recruits. Weghorst will be carrying on the tradition set by Alex Telles, who last donned the jersey and is now on loan to Sevilla.
Who else had donned the jersey before?
Before Ole Gunnar Solskjaer sold Marouane Fellaini in January 2019, the cult hero had some unforgettable performances while playing for Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal. The jersey had previously belonged to Federico Macheda, a former United great who took it in 2009 after wearing No. 41.
In addition, past tenants Gary Neville, Terry Cooke, and Mikael Silvestre. Following the acquisition of Jack Butland earlier in the month, United has added Weghorst as their second acquisition of the January transfer window. Following Martin Dubravka’s return to Newcastle, the Red Devils were aware that they needed a new goalkeeper to challenge David de Gea.
And Butland has been added on loan from Crystal Palace even though the 29-year-old is now below both De Gea and Tom Heaton in Ten Hag’s hierarchy of preferred players.
