Wout Weghorst gives bizarre reason for touching Anfield sign before Liverpool vs Manchester United

Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst has offered an explanation as to why he was seen touching Liverpool's famous 'This is Anfield' sign before the Premier League match between the two teams on Sunday.

Liverpool claimed a famous victory over their rivals at Anfield as they humiliated United in a 7-0 humbling, in which the Dutchman started for Erik ten Hag's side.

The famous sign is located in the tunnel at Anfield and is traditionally touched by Liverpool players before they walk out to take on their opponents. Away players do not touch the sign, but footage has emerged showing Weghorst doing so.
