Sackable offence to start him in the Premier League.
Yep, Fellaini was world-class compared to this guy.I found humour in Fellaini being a starter for us and now I'm doing for same for Weghorst, a far poorer player.
Comparing him to Fellaini is kinda disrespectful. Fellaini may not be of United quality but he did scored some important goals for us and his chest control is unparallelI found humour in Fellaini being a starter for us and now I'm doing for same for Weghorst, a far poorer player.
Oh without doubt. I liked the big afro guy.Comparing him to Fellaini is kinda disrespectful. Fellaini may not be of United quality but he did scored some important goals for us and his chest control is unparallel
Brilliant in the air and best chest control in football. We would go long and beat the press all day long with him at the very least.Comparing him to Fellaini is kinda disrespectful.

Disrespect towards Fellaini always annoys me. A limited player, yes, but as you said he scored some important goals and he always gave it everything. He never strolled around lazily.Comparing him to Fellaini is kinda disrespectful.

Better question would be, has he ever won any header? Considering his height he must be the worst player in history in aerial duels.An absolute waste of a shirt. Offers nothing. I’ve said it before, has he EVER won a header from a corner?
He’s the only 6’6” forward in history who actually gets smaller as he jumps for a header.Better question would be, has he ever won any header? Considering his height he must be the worst player in history in aerial duels.
Agree, just don't get it. Can't understand if ETH is just blinded by some attribute he feels he's bringing but I really can't believe that using him there vs Bruno and a winger or putting Sabitzer in the middle is getting us a better outcome. If we wanted to hold on to a lead I could understand if, but as a tactic to start a game just seems odd.It would have been pointless to start him as a number 9 because he offers almost nothing there.
But we started him as a number 10 and shunted Bruno to the left for him, again - after all, it worked brilliantly the last time: we only conceded seven.
And then after 45 minutes of nothingness, he still got to come out for the second half. Absolutely baffling. Feels like deliberate sabotage.
It wasn't as tame as their goal though.Had a fairly tame shot that was saved
It was a mediocre shot but ironically I think it was one of his best ones in a United shirt. What a moment.Had a fairly tame shot that was saved and contributed a key pass for Antony's shot that went wide. There was a decent tackle inside our area.
At this stage, I suspect only Ten Hag understands why Weghorst starts matches.
Literally just vibes.Just end a loan early, what is really the point in having him here?
He would have been much better, streets aheadI refuse to believe Depay could've been any worse, and he was also desperate to come back.
exactly. It isn’t his fault. He’s not going onto the pitch half arsing or anything. He’s just really rubbish. And a man being paid a three figure a week salary to manage Manchester United football club seemingly can’t figure this out.Imagine moving Bruno out of position in order to accommodate Wout Weghorst as a #10. All while Sancho, Sabitzer, Martial & Garnacho sit on the bench. Just let that sink in for a while. Then remember it’s not the first time it’s happened this season. We’re in the twilight zone people.
I can’t even be angry at him anymore. It’s beyond him. It’s like putting a puppy behind the wheel of a car then blaming him when he crashes it rather then blaming the person who thought it was a good idea to put him in that position in the first place.
It does, however, give me some hope that at 30, I might still have a chance of becoming a professional footballer and playing for Manchester United. Because if Wout can, we all can.
He’ll be going back to Burnley, although almost certain Kompany won’t want anything to do with him.It was an experiment that’s failed miserably. Bet he can’t wait for the season to end now, so he can get back to Besiktas and hook up with his other team mates again.
The Glazers didn't give the money for a Joao Felix loan.Should we have just spent the money on Joao Felix?
Fellaini is a miles better striker than Weghorst. At least he was a monster of an aerial targetComparing him to Fellaini is kinda disrespectful. Fellaini may not be of United quality but he did scored some important goals for us and his chest control is unparallel
It's fecking on ETH all the way at this point. There's enough evidence of how terrible Weghorst is in this team, and we basically have every attacker fit currently. But we go for this idiot playing some weird hybrid 10 role because he runs around a bunch. It's a joke and sad that Ten Hag is letting his loyalty to 2 players potentially cost him what was a great season up until this past monthIt's ten Hag's fault to keep playing him. He offers nothing, it's even more criminal to play him at 10 which means moving Bruno and Rashford out of position.
He offers effort and that's about it, he's incredibly weak and surprisingly awful in air for such a tall strong player. He never seems to win any battles and is so slow it hurts transition.
I know we are really short of options specially in the striker position. But Weghorst can't play again he's by far the weakest link in the chain.
