Wout Weghorst has come in for predictable criticism as the replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo but the striker is a perfect fit for Erik ten Hag’s Man Utd.As Diogo Dalot sauntered down the right-hand side once more and held a cross up to the back post for Fred to head into the centre, Old Trafford waited with bated breath. Man Utd were leading 1-0 against Leicester and their centre-forward was handed a glorious opportunity to secure the victory in spectacular fashion with an overhead kick.
As a warm-up for Barcelona at home in the Europa League, Newcastle at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final and West Ham in the FA Cup fifth round over the next 10 days, this was a decent jog and stretch.The hosts could even afford to reduce the final 10 minutes to an exercise in trying to force Weghorst to score.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s successor at Man Utd could not represent the Portuguese’s polar opposite more effectively. The temptation when sourcing a replacement for a player, particularly mid-season, is often to encourage continuity with a like-for-like substitute. But Erik ten Hag deliberately strayed as far away as possible from that failing blueprint. Weghorst is perfect for this team in the precise wayThe endeavour. The versatility. The altruism. The actual likeability.
