Erik ten Hag underlined Wout Weghorst's importance to Manchester United after the forward scored his first goal at Old Trafford.
Weghorst has started every game - 15 in total – since joining United on loan in January, but his goal in Thursday's 4-1 win over Real Betis was only his second in that run.
Despite his lack of goals, Ten Hag praised Weghorst's contribution to United, in particular his link-up play, willingness to press opponents and availability for selection whenever needed. Contrast that with fellow United striker Anthony Martial, who has started just 15 games in all competitions in the last two years and last completed 90 minutes in the league January 2021.
