Wout Weghorst expresses hope ahead of manchester united vs Arsenal

Before Arsenal’s match against Manchester United, Wout Weghorst expresses optimism.

In Sunday’s highly anticipated away game against Arsenal, Wout Weghorst might make his second Manchester United appearance.

In addition to admitting he hopes he scores his first goal for Manchester United soon, Wout Weghorst said he will “never forget” the phone call in which he learned of his move to the club.

Following drawn-out negotiations between Burnley and Besiktas, the Dutchman’s loan from Burnley for the remainder of the season was officially announced last week. For the Turkish club’s season-long loan to be terminated at the halfway point, United paid about £2.15 million in compensation.

Weghorst made his United debut on Wednesday, starting and playing 69 minutes in the 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace after joining the team on Sunday. The chance to join Erik ten Hag’s team is a welcome step up for a striker who saw his Burnley team relegated last season before moving to Turkey. Speaking ahead of Sunday’s crucial trip to Arsenal, the 30-year-old recalled the moment he first heard of the move.

According to Weghorst’s statement to Sky Sports, “[The phone call] was in the evening.”. “I was texting my agent because, to be completely honest, I was unhappy with [Besiktas’] training and it was already quite late. He chose to call me while I was curled up on the bed holding the infant.

Because he had been planning it for some time and it had progressed to the point where he felt confident telling me, he believed it was the right time. This call is something I won’t soon forget. There was no question, and I knew it right away.

“I can try to sound tough and cool, but no, this is something special, and I’m really proud,” Carrington said, pointing to the large Man United logo above you in the gym. I’ll give this club everything I have. “.

Even though the game on Wednesday night ended in a letdown, Weghorst showed a lot of promise by directing the line and serving as the team’s focal point in the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo. Although goals are not necessary for success in red due to the form and caliber of those around him, the Dutchman is eager to start scoring soon.

In truth, he said, “before the game, the entire squad and I trained together just once. “I tried my best; there is definitely room for improvement, but I was satisfied. Of course, you would prefer a more noteworthy debut, but the final outcome left us with a slightly unfavorable impression.

“[Sunday] is obviously a big game for us to close this gap. I’m prepared; we are prepared, and as I previously stated, I intend to score [my first] goal as soon as I can. “.
