FANS of Manchester United’s Prem rivals want Wout Weghorst to ink a “lifetime contract” following his underwhelming display against Sevilla.
The Dutchman – who is on loan from Burnley – came on as a sub in the first leg of United’s Europa League quarter-final tie with Sevilla on Thursday.
Weghorst’s woes in front of goal continued as he failed to find the back of the net in the 2-2 draw at the Theatre of Dreams.
The Netherlands international’s decision-making was also in question when he failed to square the ball to Anthony Elanga to make it 3-0 and kill off the game.

“If that’s a Martial, he’s either back-heeling it and trying to score or he turns quickly and gets his shot off quickly and scores.
“He’s five or six yards out!”
Weghorst and his United team-mates will be back in action on Sunday afternoon, travelling to the City Ground to take on relegation battlers Nottingham Forest.
