'Wouldn't be available' - Gary Neville questions Wout Weghorst's struggles at Man United

Former Manchester United full-back Gary Neville joked that the Reds would not have been able to sign Wout Weghorst on loan in January if he was scoring frequently.

Weghorst played the full 90 minutes as Erik ten Hag's side secured a comfortable 3-0 victory over Leicester at Old Trafford on Sunday afternoon, but the Dutchman will be frustrated to not have got on the scoresheet. The loan striker had a great chance to score in the second period, but Danny Ward was equal to his strike.

The forward, who signed on loan from Burnley in the January transfer window, has endured a difficult time at United - having scored just one goal in 10 appearances. Moreover, the 30-year-old - who played as an attacking midfielder against Barcelona in midweek - has struggled to link-up with his teammates on occasions.
