Wout Weghorst, the Dutch striker who joined Manchester United on loan in the January transfer window, has expressed his desire to stay at the club beyond the end of the current season.
The 28-year-old, who had been plying his trade with Wolfsburg in the German Bundesliga prior to his move to Old Trafford, has impressed during his short spell at United, scoring 5 goals in just 9 appearances.
In an interview with a Dutch newspaper, Weghorst said that he is enjoying his time at United and would love to extend his stay beyond the end of his loan spell. He praised the club’s facilities, coaching staff, and players, and said that he feels he is learning and improving as a player during his time at the club.
Weghorst’s performances have certainly caught the eye of United fans, who have been impressed with his work rate, physicality, and finishing ability. With the club facing the prospect of losing striker Edinson Cavani at the end of the season, there may well be a spot for Weghorst in the United squad going forward.
