Wout Weghorst is the late Christmas present Manchester United fans were not expecting but are getting.
The budget for this new year’s splash is rather dainty after the summer’s £225m spend. As a result, United have had to look into the loan market and find a cheap makeshift back-up striker for Anthony Martial.
Weghorst, aged 30, is little more than a stop-gap ahead of a major summer coup but the player seems happy enough to play that role, indicating his desire to make the temporary switch happen.
