Erik ten Hag utilises Man Utd's Wout Weghorst option as familiar pattern emerges

Wout Weghorst was introduced with 20 minutes remaining of Manchester United 's clash with Tottenham.

The Red Devils couldn't hold off the north Londoners comeback, Heung-min Son eventually getting their equaliser, but the Dutchman wasn't brought on to be a target man. Instead, Ten Hag utilised his skillset in the middle of the pitch, often being amongst the deepest of United's players.

The January loanee has by no means lit up the final third, despite playing regular minutes, but remains a trusted lieutenant for Erik ten Hag. United had to adapt their game plan in the second-half and Weghorst is clearly seen by the man in the dugout as a worthy asset.
