Burnley's new centre forward plays in the mould of Liverpool's all-time record goal scorer Ian Rush, according to Ralf Rangnick.
The Manchester United interim boss has been speaking ahead of his side's short trip to Turf Moor this evening, where they will face rock-bottom Burnley.
Following the departure of Chris Wood to Newcastle, the Clarets snapped up Wout Weghorst from Wolfsburg for £12m on January transfer deadline day and Rangnick has seen first hand just what kind of a threat he is.

Speaking to the United club website, he said: “He looks with his size, a little bit like Ian Rush, for example, but he’s a very technical player.
"“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, [on Tuesday], 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 Wood.”
Weghorst, 29, has scored seven goals this season in 26 appearances for Wolfsburg and made his Premier League debut on Saturday in Burnley's 0-0 draw with Watford.
