Marco van Basten wonders whether Erik ten Hag would do well to bring Wout Weghorst to Manchester United. The former top striker does not think highly of the attack leader of Besiktas, who has joined the team via his boss Burnley. the Mancunians should be rented. Whether that will happen is up to you the Telegraph however the question remains.
Van Basten is during the broadcast of Rondo asked on Ziggo Sport about his opinion on the interest of Ten Hag and Man United in Weghorst. The former top striker is crystal clear. “I have my doubts about that,” he says. “Take a look at Luuk de Jong. That is really a striker who you can play through the air and where you can then go for the second ball. I don’t think Weghorst is that strong in that regard. He can score a header, but it is more of a boy who does things in his enthusiasm.”
When the suggestion that with the arrival of Weghorst too many Dutch people will come to play at Old Trafford comes up, Van Basten nods. “I do indeed question that. I think that can become dangerous if you have too many Dutch people and things are not going well. You also saw that at Barcelona, when they had five Dutch people. work against you. Ten Hag has to be careful with that.”
Monday night made The Telegraph It is known that a lot still needs to be done before Weghorst can indeed make the switch. The player, United and Burnley are willing to cooperate, but Besiktas does not intend to let his attack leader go just like that. The Turks reportedly want a third of the rent the Clarets would receive from Manchester for Weghorst as ‘compensation’. Ten Hag and his colleagues are still hopeful that the transfer can take place.
