Wout Weghorst praises Man United facilities after brutal criticism by Ronaldo, Lingard

After scoring his first-ever goal for Manchester United in the Carabao Cup semi-final, Wout Weghorst told reporters: "Of course I want to stay longer.

"I've seen the first week and how big the club is, in everything, the facilities, the club, even the quality in the team and the way we're playing.

"There's a lot of quality in everything and that's something you look to work in, to be in a winning atmosphere.

"I think the first week went well and it's up to me to deliver and contribute and help the team as much as I can. I'm quite confident I can play a role in it."

The striker, who is on loan from Burnley, added: "This is the situation now. It was for a loan, but this is a massive club, so I will try to do everything as good as I can and if it will work out it will be a good option.

"The manager [Erik ten Hag] told me to deliver and help the team. We were looking for a target man. That was something the club was looking for.

"They just wanted to add one - and now it's up to me to take my chances."

Weghorst has appeared in three games so far and finally found the back of the net in the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

His attitude towards the club and facilities is refreshing, especially after the shocking criticism by Jesse Lingard and Cristiano Ronaldo.

If the towering forward is able to continue his form and adding value, perhaps a permanent move could be on the cards.
