Wout Weghorst says Manchester United gave the reaction they had aimed to produce against Real Betis following the 7-0 drubbing by Liverpool last weekend.
A classy 4-1 win over the Spaniards on Thursday night in the Europa League helped heal some of the wounds inflicted by the huge defeat at Anfield, with Weghorst scoring his long-awaited first Old Trafford goal.
The Dutchman fired in his first goal in 12 matches after a Scott McTominay shot was parried into his path on 82 minutes to cap a successful night for Erik ten Hag’s side. Speaking about the goal afterwards, the attacker admitted his ecstatic reaction showed how much the strike meant to him.
