Wout Weghorst's antics after Man Utd's FA Cup semi-final victory divide opinion

Wout Weghorst has split opinion after the Manchester United loanee ran solo towards the club's fans to celebrate on his own after their FA Cup semi-final.

The Red Devils eventually overcame Brighton after a goalless 120 minutes, securing a 7-6 win on penalties. Weghorst was among those to convert from the spot and when Victor Lindelof scored the crucial penalty, rather than run to David de Gea with his team-mates, he went in the opposite direction.

The shootout took place in front of the Brighton fans, but Weghorst opted to celebrate with those in red. The forward joined the club in January as they sought cover after Cristiano Ronaldo's departure. He's largely been a regular despite his lack of goals, but his display of passion has been divisive.
