Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag says Wout Weghorst could be handed a permanent deal.

On-loan to June from Burnley, Weghorst has scored only twice since his January arrival.

But Ten Hag said of the Holland centre-forward: “Of course. I think he is doing a lot of elements of football really well.

“Wout is doing a really good job for us. He is the leader of the process in pressing, he starts the press and is very good in backward pressing. He is also taking up (good) positions and in his link-up play he's doing really well.

“He is making good movements, making space for others, so he's also good in set-plays. He is really contributing to this team. I think after Christmas we have played 25 games and we lost two - and Weghorst played almost all of the games so he is really part of the success."
