Erik ten Hag could drop new signing Wout Weghorst for Manchester United’s game against Leeds United at Elland Road.
The Dutch striker did not have the best of games in his previous outing and was eventually substituted, despite United chasing a goal.
According to The Sun, Ten Hag is considering ditching her new man to play Marcus Rashford up front.
The last game of 30 years was slow and sloppy.
He did not assist in the construction and did not occupy dangerous positions in the area.
United looked more dangerous when they came out.
Weghorst was signed in January to be an interim solution as United lacked options up front.
The departure of Cristiano Ronaldo in the middle of the season left the club hunting for an immediate solution in the winter market.
They finally decided to bring Weghorst on loan to solve their temporary problems.
The Dutchman does have qualities that could benefit the team, but he hasn’t shown much so far.
It will be interesting to see how Ten Hag uses it in the future.
United have a lot of games to come, so Weghorst will be an integral part of the team.
It can be a valuable option from the bench or even as a starter against certain rivals.
