Wout Weghorst, the ‘This Is Anfield’ sign and some performative, daft anger from Man Utd fansWout Weghorst is in trouble with a tiny subset of very angry Manchester United supporters for the heinous crime of touching the ‘This is Anfield’ sign.In the aftermath of their 7-0 mauling at Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon, there was no shortage of scapegoats for angry Manchester United supporters.
It seems fair to say that Weghorst was an unusual signing for United to make in January. To a point, it made logical sense. The club isn’t exactly awash with money, and an international striker on a long-term loan to the end of the season afforded their recruitment department a little more time to look for a more permanent solution. And he was another player with whom Erik ten Hag was already very familiar.
And while their build doesn’t have to be an indicator of a footballer’s ability or even skill-set – as can be demonstrated in the absurd commentary that Lisandro Martinez couldn’t possibly be a central defender because he’s 5’9″ tall – it did seem a little unusual that United had settled on this particular player, who felt a little like the answer to a question that no-one asked.
