Roy Keane urged fans to give "give the guy a chance" as he defended Manchester United's decision to sign Wout Weghorst.
Erik ten Hag brought in his fellow Dutchman on loan until the end of the season in mid-January to provide him with a much-needed reinforcement up front. Weghorst, 30, scored his first United goal on Wednesday night to help his new side secure a 3-0 victory at Nottingham Forest in the first leg of their EFL Cup semi-final.
The Netherlands international showed his predatory instinct by reacting fastest to Wayne Hennessey's save to keep out Antony before lashing home powerfully. Keane saw the 45th-minute goal at the City Ground, which doubled United's lead, as the ideal justification for Weghorst's midseason transfer.
