Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has likened Wout Weghorst to Liverpool legend Ian Rush.

United go to Burnley tonight with Weghorst to lead the Clarets' line.

“Yes, he looks with his size, a little bit like Ian Rush, for example, but he's a very technical player," said Rangnick of the former Wolfsburg striker.

"Due to his size, he is also physically present but he's not that much of a physical target striker. He is more of a technical player. Also, he had good times at Wolfsburg when Oliver Glasner was head coach, he did extremely well and scored quite a few goals.

"Hopefully, tomorrow, he won't score. He played against Watford and I obviously watched that game on TV. I thought he was a good signing and one of the best possible signings to replace [Chris] Wood."
