After six months in Turkey he joined Manchester United in January, but failed to make much of a positive impression at Old Trafford.

Weghorst, 31, scored two goals in 31 appearances for Erik ten Hag's side - before returning to Burnley for pre-season.

His comeback was not well received by Clarets fans, with some booing him during a pre-season appearance last month.

With the Premier League season set to kick off this weekend, Weghorst has sealed another move away from Burnley.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Hoffenheim have agreed a deal to take Weghorst on loan for the 2023-24 season.

He adds that Weghorst will undergo his medical with the Bundesliga club today.

The Dutchman is set to return to Germany, having played for Wolfsburg prior to his move to Burnley.

Weghorst joined the Clarets in January 2022 to replace outgoing forward Chris Wood.

He managed just two goals in 20 appearances, however, with his side being relegated to the Championship.

Rather than stay at Turf Moor in the second tier, Weghorst opted to leave on two separate loan deals.

Upon joining Hoffenheim, he will still have two years remaining on his Burnley contract.
