Man utd flop at the risk of becoming a worse signature that weghorst

All eyes may be tomorrow evening, in the middle of Manchester United’s offer to reserve their place in the Europa League final, although in the long term, it is the summer transfer window that could prove to do or break the Ruben Amorim diet.

The United Hierarchy will have to find a balance between the presentation of the Portuguese The appropriate tools for its specialized 3-4-3 system, although while avoiding a repetition of the mandate of Erik Ten Hag, in which too many transfer transactions of the Dutch have been led by the manager.

Although the move to ussair Mazraoui ranks among the most successful clubs of the clubs lately, you must really return to the arrival of Bruno Fernandes in 2020 to see an extremely positive affair concluded at Old Trafford.

As the legend of the Gary Neville club said at the end of last year, the playmaker is the “only” post-SIR era Alex Ferguson player to have been up to expectations, with too much high-level movements that have been wrong.

The Ineos era should start improving this recent miserable record, with perhaps the lowest reflux of United before taking control, in the form of the addition of Wout Weghorst shock.

Wout Weghorst’s file in Man Utd

For all the complications and the controversy surrounding the second spell of Cristiano Ronaldo to Old Trafford – in particular the explosive interview of the attacker with Piers Morgan – he always represented a significant shock gradient for having replaced the icon of free implementation with this man who is.

Ronaldo leaving in acrimonious terms, before the 2022 World Cup, Ten Hag and Co was forced to dive on the market for a new striker in January, in particular in the midst of the problems of continuous injury of Anthony Martial.

The options in the winter window were unsurprisingly limited, the Premier League team finally forced to settle on Weghorst of its loan in Besiktas, having scored only two goals the previous year for Burnley.

While the imposing Dutch international brutally mocked “worse player” to have played for Manchester United, in the verdict of the controversial broadcaster Richard Keys, he appreciated the strange shiny moment, after providing the assistance to the strike of Marcus Rashford during the final victory of the Carabao Cup over Newcastle United.

Deployed in almost a berth of the number of ten sometimes, the experienced elite shooter also has to spin on the break during the 2-2 draw with Barcelona at Camp Nou, having at least shown signs of life despite its obvious limits.

These limitations, however, were exposed by his meager return of only two goals and only three assists in 31 games in all competitions during his six -month stay in Manchester, having almost melted in tears after having won a long -awaited Old Trafford goal against Real Betis.

For a player, many of whom were little waiting for, Weghorst appeared at least with a few moments to cherish. The reverse seems to be true for one of those among the current cultures of Amorim.

The man utd star in danger of looking worse than weghorst

On the striker’s front, the question marks continue to surround both Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee. That said, in the case of Hojlund, the young Dane finished at least last season as a top scorer in United in all the competitions, while Zirkzee, on the other hand, marked seven times in a first injury campaign in terms of prescription at the club.

The two men – as we could hope for by considering their respective transfer costs of 64 million pounds sterling and 36.5 million pounds sterling – easily overshadowed the five goal implications that we wrote, although we cannot say about the man who arrived alongside Hojlund in 2023, Mason Mount.

Signed by Rivals Chelsea on an agreement of 55 million pounds Sterling that summer, having only one year to run on his existing contract at Stamford Bridge, the Englishman initially resembled a coup, with Ten Hag having won the race for his signature before Arsenal and Liverpool.

A player who had provided a decisive pass in the final of the Champions League of 2021, in particular alongside double figures for goals and assists in the Premier League in 2021/22, Mount arrived in Manchester with a real pedigree. As Ten Hag said at the time, he was “a quality player”.

Unfortunately for all the people concerned, the renowned movement has proven a real disaster to date, with the versatile midfielder the last to be apparently struck by the infamous Curse number seven of the club.

That he was simply increasing by taking such an emblematic jersey at the Theater of Dreams, things have really not had Mount so far, the active of £ 250,000 per week having been hindered several times by an injury in the last two seasons.

Even when he presented, the former lender of the Derby County has hardly resembled a regular role for himself, 3-0 defeat against Athletic Bilbao presenting a case.

Introduced from the bench with United in the hope of seeing things comfortably, Mount has put an erratic and too acute performance in the fence steps, picking up an unnecessary yellow card, while losing the ball seven times from only 23 keys.

It was, to his credit, followed by a goal against Brentford to open the scoring this weekend, although even this strike could not hide his dark return to the world, now having scored only twice and contributed only one pass in 41 games to date – two less goals and assists that Weghorst, well to have played nine more games.

Although it may seem hard to compare the frame to Weghorst, given the status of the latter as an attacker, the first largely worked as a number ten in the Amorim regime, but with little success. As mentioned earlier, Weghorst also played in this role under Ten Hag.

Given the important nature of the Mount’s price also – the tenth higher in the history of United, according to TransferMarkt – it is difficult to consider its capture as something other than a flop, with time that is exhausted to make its mark before the end of the season.

Amorim, it seems, still has a faithful faith in a player he described as a “good footballer”, although with Matheus Cunha who seeks to arrive this summer-in the midst of the reports that Mount could be on the way-the competition on the side should not increase.

Hopefully, for the good of Son and United, the Cobham Academy graduate can play an essential role in the winning glory of the Europa League …
