Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag admits he didn't sign Wout Weghorst to play him in midfield.
Weghorst impressed impressed in the role for the 2-2 draw at Barcelona last week.
Ten Hag said, “Actually, no. The last years he was actually only playing as a striker, but I know from a very long history he can play there. He did before. In a certain role, I think he can act very well there and we have seen that.
"In Leeds, he did it for a part of the game and yesterday he did it for over 90 minutes. I think it was quite successful, not only for him but I think he enjoyed it there. He had an impact on the game, but for the team it was really important his role.
"I think he let others play better and that's also what he's doing as a striker. He lets other team-mates score."
