Fans laten duidelijk Weghorst-geluid horen

Zijn komst naar Manchester United zorgde voor ongeloof en in de afwerking is hij vooralsnog ongelukkig, maar Wout Weghorst heeft de fans nu al voor zich gewonnen. Tijdens en na de Carabao Cup-finale tegen Newcastle United stromen de lovende reacties over de Nederlandse spits binnen. Een deel van de aanhang pleit zelfs voor een verlengde samenwerking.

Een greep uit de Twitter-reacties:

Wout Weghorst gets what it means to play for @ManUtd #MUFC too.

Lots of Players have improved, better morale/atmosphere, playing for the Fans/Manager, credit to ETH, he’s amazing.

Wout Weghorst man. I’m in love with him. He works his socks off every single game and even though he may not be the best in front of goal, his impact is massive. Huge upgrade on #7

Really hope we sign him in the summer pic.twitter.com/RZsKg2w2hL

Nah sign weghorst on a three year contract now, I don’t care if he isn’t good enough to start as a striker, he gets it & he loves it!

Weghorst brings so much to the team. He’ll be judged on goals but shouldn’t be. The way he presses and the quality of his passes are next level! #mufc #MUNNEW

I actually hope that #MUFC sign Wout Weghorst in the Summer, he’s so likeable, he works so hard, he has a great attitude and is such a team Player.

I loved that shot of him just looking at the crowd so happy after we won the Final ❤️.

Weghorst might not be scoring atm, but his impact on this team is massive pic.twitter.com/mI6rs61uBw

At one point in the first half, Weghorst ran 60 yards to make a huge tackle in his own box. When Ronaldo played up top, we were elucky if he’d jog back onside in time for someone else to win possession.

He isn’t good enough on the ball but we are a better team with him playing. https://t.co/SfsEH9gEu0

Every team in football needs a Weghorst to be successful https://t.co/Zc4PCmWx1S

Weghorst is the most bizarre forward we’ve ever had.
But right now he’s functional and is creating space and allowing the better players to advance forward.
Today he played his part to win his first trophy just 6 weeks after joining. #MUFC #CarabaoCupFinal https://t.co/Ps5VxHDJzF

Wout Weghorst makes me happy too. Hard working chump he is. Leaves it all ont pitch for the team. Old school in that respect.#MUFC

Change his name from Weghorst to work horse because damn, that lad runs his socks off.

Weghorst has repaid all the money Manchester united invested in him pic.twitter.com/Z2S1jiFjzX

Weghorst here and his face at the final whistle made my heart smile
You can see how much it means to him! ♥️ #CarabaoCupFinal https://t.co/ZRyzEFEFBZ

Whole team were superb today! Weghorst attacks, defends, runs, closes down, motivates the others, important player. #MUFC
— RedDevil17 (@WarriorRuler) February 26, 2023

Massively underrated what Weghorst does for this team. If you think he should be banging in goals, then you are so wrong. He holds up play, works his knackers off, and always gives 100% for the team. United mentality 👏🏻 #mufc https://t.co/YTUoCA7iMD
