Man Utd striker Weghorst: I know I need to score for Ten Hag

Manchester United loan star Wout Weghorst is confident he can find the net for the team this season.

Weghorst has drawn blanks in his first two appearances against Crystal Palace and Arsenal in the Premier League.

However, he knows that he will get many more chances in upcoming games, especially with Antony Martial out injured.

He told Algemeen Dagblad: "In the end, it's very simple. As a striker, you are judged by goals. He (Erik ten Hag) indicated that attacking reinforcements were desirable. A striker, a number 9. Such a type was sought to add to the selection. And then it's simple. The best plays. I have to force it to make minutes.

"In my career, I have always done one thing: score goals. We've had two games now. If I start missing big chances, then I have to start worrying. But I'm confident I can do it and I'll be fine. The coach saw that I was ready. Nice to enforce that confidence from the start.

"It is fantastic to be here. The atmosphere, the away fans, the game that waves up and down. Wonderful. I've been here for over a week now. It's going well. Of course (I want to stay), but first I have to make sure I can be of value to the team and this club."
