Weghorst's role is obvious
For now Anthony Martial remains the only real option Erik ten Hag has at centre forward, which is why he was wrapped in cotton wool ahead of Saturday's Manchester derby and given the night off.
With Marcus Rashford only on the bench it was Anthony Elanga who was given an extended run as a striker in the Manchester United side, but if Wout Weghorst was watching from Istanbul he would have been confident of getting plenty of minutes when he arrives at Old Trafford.
