Wout Weghorst's move to Manchester United in January raised almost as many eyebrows among supporters as Cristiano Ronaldo's controversial Piers Morgan interview.
It was a left-field decision which screamed of a club trying to solve an unforeseen problem on the cheap. Weghorst failed to do the business for Burnley in the Premier League so the chances were he would not do it under Erik ten Hag either.
So this proved but it was certainly not for a lack of effort. The Dutchman's commitment to the cause cannot be questioned and the look of pure elation on his face when United won the Carabao Cup will not be forgotten.
