Wout Weghorst joined Manchester United on a temporary deal until the summer and scored his first goal for the club in a Carabao Cup clash against Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night.
Of course, the forward's first job will be to score goals and help United finish in a top-four position at the end of the season and hopefully win some silverware. But since Erik ten Hag's side is a work in progress, the 30-year-old can play another role in shaping how the team plays in the long term.
It was clear that with Cristiano Ronaldo in the side, United were lacking a clear focal point. The 37-year-old often moved out of the box to look for opportunities to get the ball to his feet and shoot in the wrong moments; he was also prone to mistiming or not making runs at all.
