Manchester United loanee Wout Weghorst has admitted that he was pleased with the way he performed in an unexpected No.10 role against both Leeds United and Barcelona.
The 30-year-old, who joined United on loan for the remainder of the season from Burnley last month, dropped deep during the second half of last Sunday's 2-0 win at Elland Road in a tactical switch instigated by manager Erik ten Hag. It played a key role in United being able to find a way to secure all three points and Weghorst registered a classy assist for substitute Alejandro Garnacho to double the Reds' lead.
Weghorst, though many expected him to make way, kept his place in the starting line-up against Barcelona in the Europa League on Thursday evening and started in the No.10 position, meaning Marcus Rashford led the line and Bruno Fernandes started on the right-wing.
