Wout Weghorst scored four goals in Twente's 9-0 win over Excelsior, Bongda24h reports. The 34-year-old also supplied a backheel assist for Younes Taha, adding a creative contribution to his finishing.
The report lists him on 11 goals and five assists for the season at publication, placing the four-goal match within a wider run of contributions.
A different chapter from Manchester United
Weghorst joined Manchester United on loan from Burnley in January 2023. He made 31 appearances and scored twice, starting the League Cup final victory over Newcastle a month after arriving.
That background explains why his current performance prompted memories of Old Trafford among supporters. The two periods took place in different competitive settings, however, and the figures alone do not settle comparisons about his ability or past selection decisions.
Finishing and a familiar observer
According to Bongda24h, Weghorst completed a hat-trick within a 21-minute span before finishing with four goals. His backheel for Taha illustrates involvement beyond the final shot.
Erik ten Hag watched from the stands. The report says the former United manager became Twente's technical director in February, with responsibility for overseeing recruitment, providing another connection between the present story and Weghorst's English spell.
The forward's next task is to sustain his contribution through Twente's continuing campaign. Four goals mark a notable individual match, while the 11-goal, five-assist totals remain a snapshot at the time of the report rather than final season figures.
