Can I shock you? I think Manchester United signing Wout Weghorst on loan is a sensible transfer.
, he was writing as a Manchester United fan unsurprisingly underwhelmed at the idea of signing a striker who had flopped at Burnley. But with a neutral-ish eye, with full knowledge of the inflated price of January targets, this is the kind of sloppy bodge job that could actually work.
Erik ten Hag has made it abundantly clear that he is not looking to replace Anthony Martial despite a relative lack of goals but are looking to give themselves options to rest him. When those are the requirements, Weghorst could be an excellent choice. Strikers can make an impact in January if they are already in goalscoring form – I am old enough to remember the very limited Jon Stead successfully transferring his touch from Huddersfield to Blackburn to help them survive in the top flight almost 20 years ago – because confidence is high and the goalposts do not move.
