The story is that Wout Weghorst was still playing in the sixth minute of extra time at Old Trafford; He was still pushing for his team. He pursued Nayef Aguerd for the final time and induced the desperate West Ham defender to commit another error by mishandling Marcus Rashford’s cross. Manchester United’s FA Cup success in the fifth round was completed by Fred with the easiest of goals after the ball escaped his control.
Aguerd must have grown weary of Weghorst’s presence. The presence of the large Dutchman during a corner kick in the 77th minute compelled Aguerd to score an own goal, tying the match at 1-1. Alejandro Garnacho scored the game-winning goal when the ball bounced off his block of Weghorst’s shot in the 90th minute. Then here was Weghorst again, deep into injury time, unwilling to allow him a moment’s rest.NYSC Portal

‘I think he was one of the best players on the pitch,’ said Ten Hag afterwards. Some fans will agree with the United manager, some will not. Weghorst is that kind of player. But you couldn’t question his effectiveness as United continued to march on.Information Guide Nigeria
‘I think he was involved,’ added Ten Hag. ‘I need to see the corner back, but I think he was there in front. He came up with Harry (Maguire) to force the own-goal.
‘I think the goal from Garnacho he was pressing from the switch of play. He had a role in the third goal where he was creating a good press and forced the opponent to make a mistake where Fred can score. He understands positioning in and out of possession. He is doing a really job for the team.’
Ten Hag still believes the goals will come for Weghorst and he may be right. ‘I have the experience with so many players,’ said the United boss on Wednesday night.
‘I refer to Rashford. At the start of the season he also didn’t score in every game. But I know in my experience that it will come when he (Weghorst) is more settled down
‘Now he has had a lot of games with us, but not a long period. When he is longer here, the routines will be there. When he has the first goal, more will come.’JAMB Result
