“Former Manchester United flop expresses disappointment, points fingers at Ten Hag’s decisions, alleging that Erik ten Hag is the cause of Manchester United’s current situation.”

Wout Weghorst, who joined Manchester United on loan from Burnley during the January transfer window, had a varied experience during his stint at Old Trafford. Initially making a significant impact with eight goals and four assists in 16 league games for Besiktas at the beginning of the 2022/23 season, the Dutch international faced challenges as the season progressed.

Despite playing a crucial role in the Carabao Cup final and providing an assist in Man Utd’s 2-0 victory over Newcastle United at Wembley, Weghorst struggled to maintain consistent goal-scoring form. Reflecting on his time with the Red Devils, Weghorst attributed his goal drought to Erik ten Hag’s tactics, lamenting that it led to losing his starting position.

Weghorst acknowledged the formidable nature of the Premier League, highlighting it as the toughest league globally with top-notch defenders. However, he pointed out the difference in playing style at United compared to his experiences in Germany and Turkey, where teams focused on him as the primary goal-scoring outlet.

Expressing his adaptability and contribution to the team, Weghorst highlighted the challenging nature of the Premier League, citing the immense pressure and physical demands that exceeded his prior experiences.

Despite the initial difficulties, he gradually acclimated to the environment and regained comfort in his role, shedding initial shyness.

Weghorst also shared moments of pride, especially remembering his goal at Old Trafford against Real Betis, where he felt the support of passionate fans who recognized his dedication. While acknowledging the physical and mental strains, Weghorst emphasized his perseverance and the fulfillment he derived from the journey, expressing pride in achieving notable milestones during his time at Manchester United.
