Man Utd striker Weghorst: I'm living an amazing childhood dream

Manchester United ace Wout Weghorst had the time of his life at the Carabao Cup final.

The Dutch striker, who signed on loan from Burnley, has won a trophy within months of arriving at the club.

Weghorst played an important role in United's 2-0 win over Newcastle United in the League Cup final on Sunday at Wembley.

“In the Netherlands I played two cup finals, lost both of them," he said post-game.

“This was the third time. Of course that's something special and of course you put in all the hard work, hard effort to get really something in your head.

“I just took a moment [after the game]. I can do really tough or I can do really cool but for me this is a childhood dream. A childhood dream to play for this amazing club, to play a final and also be important in this final with [the assist for] the second goal.

“You have to take a minute otherwise everything is passing you by before you even notice and before you've enjoyed it. So, yeah, I took a moment there and that was the greatest moment of the evening."
