Wout Weghorst is more special than you think, this is what he's doing for United

With just one goal to his name, since he joined Manchester United in the winter transfer market, Wout Weghorst was under the microscope of several Manchester United faithful who were adamant that the 30-year-old striker hasn't delivered as they hope he would, especially since he was handpicked by Erik Ten Hag.

Nonetheless, Erik Ten Hag seems to be the least bothered by the fans' claims as he believes in his ability to deliver on what he wants. Ten Hag has even come out to throw his weight behind the striker highlighting his roles and impact on the team since he joined.

According to Ten Hag, Weghorst's press has been very crucial for the team's style of play as they've improved tremendously since he joined on loan from Burnley till the end of the season. Sky Sports also ranked Weghorst behind Erling Haaland and another Premier League star as the players with the most presses since January.

His importance was even proven further in recent matches, West Ham. Weghorst was in top form in the game and contributed to Manchester United's equalizer and late goal as well by Fred. His efforts and the equalizer were essential for the Red Devils to beat West Ham on the night.

What are the results of Weghorst's impact?

According to reports, Manchester United has only lost one game with Wout Weghorst leading the attack. Weghorst has already won a trophy while also helping his teammates like Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Antony are playing better alongside him. The Netherlands International will be hoping to continue his impact at the Anfield game.
