Erik ten Hag explains move for Wout Weghorst

“He is a striker, and we had an open position there to fill in,” said Erik in his exclusive Q&A before today’s Manchester derby.

“I think in the balance of the offensive [players], he really fits in. I am really happy, and I don’t think we had the type what he is.

“Most importantly, he can score goals from everywhere and he was always a surprise at every club, in every league. That is also what I expect here.

“For here, I expect a team player and someone who can link up, a player who will do his defending work and we are really happy to sign him.”
