When Manchester United signed Wout Weghorst there was a logic, but a lack of quality.
The striker was a means to an end transfer but ultimately one that failed. The Dutchman did not find the net in a Premier League game and has now returned to Burnley.
The Old Trafford hope was a big name, big money summer striker signing. A Harry Kane, a Victor Osimhen. But with £60million having been splashed on Mason Mount and a new goalkeeper required, United and Erik Ten Hag find themselves in the same boat as they did in January.
