Irony of signing him because he was something we didn't have, only to play him in the 10. While balking at Joao Felix's loan fee..

Wasted huge chance with shot straight at their keeper. Gave away possession regularly, competed for aerials without winning many. 4 successful tackles out of 8 attempts.
Apart from his height helping out defensively at set pieces, I find it hard to see what he contributes.

I'd so much want to like and rate this guy as he works so hard and seems a likable guy. But my god if you lose aerial duels to Gavi etc. constantly I'm not sure what the purpose of you being on the pitch is.
He's a disaster when you consider he's replacing Ronaldo who is an out and out striker. The team is in a ridiculous position of now being overly reliant on Rashford. I place no blame on him because he's here by nothing more than chance and coincidence but Weghorst is a solid reminder of Glazer ownership. Hoping the club is sold as quickly as possible.
Huh ?
I know you can be bad at headers but he still shouldn't be beaten by some of their players.
He should have scored in the first half.
His pressing is good and admirable. He defo is in a position he should not be, he came to round up the squad / give us an extra option on loan not start all these games

Think that was the idea ten Hag had - get Weghorst until the end of the season to defend the lead or as an impact sub like he was for Netherlands vs Argentina for example. With Martial always injured we see Weghorst start almost every game and him being Besiktas player starting games for United is not ideal.
He has went in for 6 aerial duels. Won 0. How is that even possible? The guy is literally Gulliver. Should have scored that chance.
I appreciate the effort, he works hard, but games at this level are like triple speed to him.

He has paid off his loan fee and then some, that is for sure. However, getting Felix instead of him would have transformed the team even further.
He’s there because our Baldie wants him there. Just trust The Bald One.
We are still a better team with him in the side than Ronaldo. But it's sucks we couldn't find someone better, even as a temporary option.
Yeah. Really weird feeling watching it. He played as midfielder the whole game and worked really hard. No complaints from me.
i saw him getting bullied by De Jong somewhere in the end. I mean shre, Frenkie is a bit over 1m80, but he weighs like 2 stone (I have no idea how much this is, but I think it's not much).I've never known someone who is 6 ft 6 lose so many headers.
Isn't the whole point of a tall player to bully defenders and be strong in the air. He can't do either.

We will be stronger next season when he’ll be replaced. I’m sure he carries out his orders but the quality isn’t there.
Championship player getting to strut around Camp Nou, he must be loving it.
Really really disappointed he hasn't been able to do what we expected from him. To the point that I can't wait for Martial to get fit again. 
People on here would be laughing their asses of if he were starting games for our rivals every week. One of the most bizarre signings ever, considering the posisition we're in.
Not as much as Martin Braithwaite loved it.
He also lost headers to Gavi and Alba, they're shorter than De Jong
Can someone more tactically astute than me explain what he brings to the team? What does Ten Hag see in him? He's not even playing as our striker, he's playing #10 for Christ's sake.
Can see his level unfortunately, God loves a tryer.
Also, can we stop commending players for trying hard? It's the fecking bare minimum, stop using it as a positive in how someone performed in a match. If a player isn't actually trying they should be fecked off immediately, there's no need to give someone credit for it.
Goalscoring isn't is forte.
Still, he serves a purpose which opens up more options for Rashford.

Just not good enough for United unfortunately. Definition of a filler player
It's because he throws himself into every possible challenge.
He might only have an 80% chance of winning it, but he will challenge for it. You don't always have to win the ball to be effective.
Stats like this are quite meaningless without context.
2 stone is - and I'm just guessing here - about 500kg.
Weird player.
Silver lining is if we can compete with this lump in the side then we’re certainly on the right track.
Seems exactly the kind of signing, considering our position. Under the yoke of the parasites.
I agree. But he still managed to lose a clear areal duel to Gavi, who’s like half his height
The initial thought was that he'd provide a pivot similar to what Martial provides for Rashford to play off of when he was brought in, because he's actually a decent passer for all of his faults. The problem is even if he's laying it off and providing said pivot, he's comically slow and terrible in the air so there's no threat of him arriving in the box or troubling defenders for a return pass.
At this point ETH is having to play him as a defensive minded support striker, but I'd guess he's benched when Antony is available much less Martial.
And people didn't want Felix here FFS
One of the main reasons we were able to compete with them in midfield.
I don't remember the situation, but heading is often about timing and being aggressive - as we've seen with Martinez.
He's certainly nothing special with his head, but I think he holds it up well into his chest/feet.
Fighter and running his socks off
Man, I know, but I'm not pulling it without the context of my eyes. I see him jump, but he looks like a guy who has never had to jump in his life, he looks like he does it half-heartedly. I think I saw him lose one to Gavi. Gavi.
What absolute rubbish. Fred and Casemiro did all the heavy lifting. He was as useful as a chocolate teapot. I guess you see what you wanna see.
I'm sure you can, but personally no, I can't. It's a Feyenoord thing. Work rate is our jam.
We need Martial
I guess tall people don't learn to jump as they don't need to
Anyway, he played well tonight, people need to give him a break.
