Why Wout has unfinished business
The centre-forward was unable to help prevent parent club Burnley avoid relegation after joining the Clarets from Wolfsburg last January.
In truth, the Turf Moor side were struggling, at the time, and the Dutchman’s impressive goal-to-game ratio took a hit, although he did claim an assist for Jay Rodriguez in the 1-1 draw with United in February.
This second chance in the English top flight, after ending a successful stint at Besiktas to seal the loan move from the Lancashire side, should enable the Netherlands international to show his true colours, if he can quickly adapt to Erik ten Hag’s system.
