How did this guy even become a striker? I'd trust every other outfield player in the squad to score at a better clip. Maybe even the keepers. He can do some things sonewhat decently but he's abysmal in front of goal.
Will Weghorst ever score a Premier League goal for United? No.

He scored
Fantastic goal, superstar.
Basically the exact same thing
Great celebration
I literally fell out of my chair when he scored.
It’s like watching When Saturday Comes
We're lucky that Rashford and a few others are chipping in with enough goals to keep us in the top 4 and in the cups.
He's a trier for sure, and he does put a shift in more often than not, but he's been unlucky with a few efforts and plain shocking with others.
EDIT: he's just popped one in, pleased for him.

He’s an absolute donkey, but you’ve got to love him.
Exactly how I'd have celebrated that too
Never doubted him, greatest Dutch striker ever to grace the Europa League.
Seeing how happy he was genuinely made me feel sorry for him.
But I just need remind myself that he's genuinely shit. It is what it is.

He's sh*te but I love him!
Love him, such a personality and tries very hard. Not world class, but always gives 110%.
I'm gonna go against the grain apparently and say I can't wait for him to leave United.
You've been

He reminds me of Peter Crouch - looks ungainly, but sometimes surprises you with brilliant moments.
Ok that goal was a bit ordinary, served up on a plate, easy enough if you're in the right place, but that is where he was

He has a clause in his contract that he can go on loans if Burnley aren't in the Premier League.
So that’s one in the Europa following his one in the league cup against Forest away.
Just the league and FA cup now to go.

Nice moment. Heartwarming and all.
He was a still quite shite overall, mind you.

The celebration was endearing, glad he finally managed to score again, bless him.
My favourite number 27 since Telles
Happy for him that he scored. He seems like a nice lad and he's very honest and hard working....... BUT.....
He's nowhere near good enough for this club. People praise his closing down, which he tries his best to do, but the problem is he's too slow to even close down effectively! Defenders aren't really under that much pressure when they see Wout closing them down!
And not even joking here, but his legs are too long to get his shot away in time. Like that chance in the 2nd half when the ball fell perfectly for him. It took him half an hour to swing his leg at it, and the defender got his block in he had no right to.
And lastly, for his height, does he even win that many headers??! He doesn't even seem to be an aerial threat from set pieces, which is the least you'd expect from a 7 foot 3 striker or whatever he is!

His defensive contribution as a forward is high class, and I'm positively surprised about the quality of his link-up play. He has just burned too many chances, but if he had put some of those, he'd been more celebrated by the fans. Still time for him to turn the fans around, though.
BeSt FrOnT tHrEe In ThE wOrLd.
He will have a hat trick before end of the season.
We need to look for Weggy on crosses more often.
Apparently he is bad at them.
In one game or overall?
I don’t know if there are any figures for crosses attempted/completed when WW is on the pitch vs not on the pitch, but my sense is that he’s just very bad at making himself available for crosses in the box, or getting on the end of any crosses that do come in.
We also seem to be scoring more from crosses/direct corners this season, compared to the recent past, it’s just that WW has never been involved. Casemiro, Rashford and even Bruno have all scored from heading in crosses. Why can’t WW?
One game. Gonna be miraculous performance in which everything will go right for him.
Because he’s shit.
He's dropping deep to help so e's going to arrive late to attack crosses. In his case, really late. When he's close enough in the box he still struggles to get to hot spots before his man, he might have missed out on half a dozen tap ins already. Our chance creation is decent under Ten Hag, if someone is struggling to get on the scoresheet chances are it's deeper than the old lack of service trope. He's not a good enough scorer but in a weird way the scoring thing is also probably a bit overblown. We wouldn't be spamming aerial even if he was a better header of the ball. It's low efficiency creation, far lower than what Ten Hag wants to implement. Still in favour of an upgrade though.

Seems a really nice guy. Felt for him when he got emotional after scoring the goal.
Ha ha, yeah, Jesus, what’s he smoking?
After the game he came over to every corner of the pitch and clapped the fans. Only him and Casemiro did it and i rate that, it means alot. He should of scored four goals but atleast he got one. His celebration was class aswell, he gets what it means to play for this club. If only he was more lethal infront of goal, he would be brilliant.
He may not be the best at timing headers, but he sure as hell is available. His movement in the box is class.
Corners: the variant where someone runs to the first post, like Bruno‘s goal against Betis, you would not want Weghy doing that. He needs to distract and challenge while someone quicker makes the run.
