Wout Weghorst has admitted he has been able to make the most of his shock move to Manchester United because fellow striker Antony Martial is “injury-prone.”
The Dutchman has started all 18 games since Erik ten Hag was able to seal a deal to cut short the loan he had agreed with Turkish club Besiktas following Burnley ’s relegation from the Premier League last year.
Weghorst was under no illusions about the task he faced to get regular football in United’s team. But Martial’s inability to keep himself fully fit has meant the 6ft 6ins forward has become Ten Hag’s go-to guy.
