Weghorst, the Dutchman of “What are you looking at, fool?” de Messi, arrives at Manchester United and in England they question his engagement

This is confirmed by Fabrizio Romano, an Italian journalist specialized in the European transfer market: Wout Weghorst will be Manchester United’s new reinforcement,even if the medical examination is still missing to make it official.

​Last time at Besiktas, to which he came on loan from Burnley, the striker who crossed paths with Messi in Qatar 2022 will return to the Premier League. The Red Devils will pay the Turkish club €3m in compensation and the one-metre giant will arrive on loan at the English club who are nine points behind leaders Arsenal today.

Weghorst was the author of that brace that left the Albicelesti unfair in Argentina-Holland, in a match that seemed to end comfortably in the 90s and which had to go to penalties.

Likewise, he filled Dutch fans and his own teammates with illusions, who looked dejected after goals from Messi and Molina.

However, as if that great performance of his on the Lusail night which ended with the “What are you looking at, fool? Go over there” If it was luck, this imminent transfer has brought more criticism than praise for the decision made at Old Trafford.

“There are 300 forwards like him in the Premier League. It must be a joke, it can’t be true”Filming Wesley sneijdersecond in the world in South Africa 2010 and one of the great Dutch footballers of the last decades.

Given this statement by Sneijder, the question arises whether Weghorst is that striker Manchester United needed to replace the goals that went with the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.

While it is true that the Portuguese had a lousy 2022-23 season, which was ended early due to his differences with manager Erik Ten Hag, the 24 goals he scored in the previous season is not a negligible figure.

They need to replace them and that’s what they went for with the recent rental. The United manager was in charge of the Dutch league, first at FC Utrecht and then at Ajax when Weghorst played there and scored goals and more goals for AZ Alkmaar (45 in 86 PJs).

He was delighted with his qualities and never lost track of him again. He watched his interesting moment at German Wolfsburg from a distance (70 goals in 144 PJs) and, although his first experience in the Premier League with Burnley was not good, in Besiktas he started to recover part of the best version of him.

He has scored six goals in his last eight games and returns to the Premier League with the confidence boost left over from the World Cup. No “crazy”, at least so they think in Manchester.
