Erik ten Hag plan can help Wout Weghorst achieve his Manchester United goal

It was another tough evening in red for Wout Weghorst on Wednesday as he failed to register a single shot on goal in 58 minutes during the 2-2 draw against Leeds United.

Backed to start a seventh straight game since his loan from Burnley but failing to influence the game, the Dutchman watched from the bench as his two replacements pulled back a two-goal deficit. Marcus Rashford moved centrally and placed a wonderful header past Illan Meslier before Jadon Sancho, the man he was taken off for, levelled with a first goal since September.

Rashford's goal will have left Weghorst thinking where those crosses were during the first hour, Diogo Dalot's perfectly-arched ball dropping between white shirts and onto the rising head of a man on fire. It's now 274 minutes of Premier League football without a goal for Weghorst and just one in seven starts across all competitions.
