Man Utd striker Weghorst: I know I need more goals

Manchester United loan star Wout Weghorst has conceded he must score more goals to stay in the team.

The Red Devils have used Weghorst extensively since he arrived on loan from Burnley in January.

However, he has only netted one goal in 11 matches for United, with that goal coming in the Carabao Cup win over Nottingham Forest.

After a Thursday night win over Barcelona in the Europa League, Weghorst said: "Of course, I have played in some different positions, it's also new to me.

"What I can bring to the team? I hope lots of energy, I hope the belief. Of course, I am someone who is giving a lot of effort against the ball also, try to get high pressure on the opponent, get the guys around me free.

"Of course, get myself also free and scoring goals so that's definitely a point we need to improve, because I know I'm capable of bringing that also to the team.

"That's something that so far hasn't worked as we wanted, as we planned, but overall I'm just somebody who is giving his all to the team with a lot of energy and trying to win all these trophies we're still capable of."
