Wout Weghorst is in trouble with a tiny subset of very angry Manchester United supporters for the heinous crime of touching the 'This is Anfield' sign.

And perhaps the point of this whole confection is that it is a fight over hot air. Perhaps those who believe that Weghorst should be fired from a cannon into the sun for disloyalty also believe that the statue of Busby at Old Trafford should be taken down, too. And fair enough, his explanation was a little bit lame – it was an attempt to wind up Virgil Van Dijk by stopping him from touching it, apparently – but still that raises the question of whether this is really something worth getting quite so aerated over. But this was not an arrival that was ever likely to quicken the pulse of the club’s supporters. He touched the Anfield sign and with that, it has been decided (by a statistically tiny number of very angry and very online United supporters), he has broken some sort of unwritten code and must now be summarily drummed out of the club. The sign itself was introduced by former manager Bill Shankly “to remind our lads who they’re playing for and to remind the opposition who they’re playing against”. But in several other key respects, Weghorst hits the target as a convenient symbol of Everything That Has Gone Wrong. Of course, Jurgen Klopp’s rules for Liverpool players mean nothing, so far as Manchester United and Erik ten Hag are concerned. But this result came out of the blue to such an extent that the post-match recriminations have started to become somewhat muddled. With Marcus Rashford having hit an incredible hot streak, it didn’t feel as though signing him was addressing any particular issue beyond a lack of depth.

Man Utd fans in the Mailbox trust Antony considerably less than Erik ten Hag seems to. His goal against Real Betis, and Wout Weghorst's first for the club, ...

United has won the only silverware up for grabs to date, just beaten the Spanish league leaders over a two-legged tie and look on course for Top 4. If United win this weekend, stay in the top 4 then it’s not a big deal. As a United fan, I personally would actually take a 7-0 thrashing of LFC over the League Cup for what it’s worth. Spurs are 4th, their fans want to sack their manager and yet they’re comfortable ahead of Chelsea and Liverpool who at the start of the season were the 2 most likely to challenge city for the title. That’s in his first 6 months as manager, who had to deal with Cristiano’s ego for half of it, and Wout f*cking Weghourst as the only thing the club could afford for the other. Personally, I’m pleasantly surprised we haven’t had more setbacks but in reality with the amount of games we have left to play it will be no surprise if we have a few more hiccups left. But anyone who expected us not to have a few hiccups along the way is smoking something special. He is expected to be able to take players on in 1v1 situations and also help the fullbacks. Have finally come out of hiding expecting the mailbox to have moved on from Sundays freak result. Antony does none of these, he slows the attack, can’t cross, can’t dribble and only scores a few times. He has swung in 23 crosses and completed 1, that is a “4.35%” completion rate. For context, he has an expected Assist rate of about 0.09 per 90 in the EPL and is ranked in the 40th percentile among PL players.

The 'Man Utd players driving cars' goldmine is yet to be fully excavated but the biggest possible Old Trafford news comes from a club-record signing boost.

He has also worn it for several years on the international stage, meaning it is clearly a preference of his.’ The bloke has been wearing his ‘dream’ shirt number for less than half of his professional career. There might not be many more games left for Weghorst, whose Man Utd loan runs to the end of the season with no option to make it permanent. Brentford are seven points behind with two games in hand. But at one stage we are told that while Antony ‘can regularly be seen driving in and out of training at Carrington in the striking sports car,’ he is ‘currently without it and may have to make other arrangements’. Brighton are seven points behind with three games in hand. Newcastle are four points behind Spurs with two games in hand. And they really ought to know. Osimhen wore 18 at Wolfsburg, 45 with Charleroi and 16, 12 and 7 during his time at Lille, as well as 13 and 21 for Nigeria. Did they mock him over the price of his car? ‘Man Utd star Antony’s £337,000 Lamborghini Aventador taken away in back of recovery truck,’ reads one headline to a story which collapses under the sheer weight of non-information. Did they call him a Scouse b*stard?

Manchester United loanee is keen and energetic, but despite his goal against Real Betis he is not what his team needs up front.

Weghorst has the ability to be a cult hero in the making and he looks happy to embrace it. Almost immediately prior to Bruno Fernandes heading in United’s third, Weghorst was cautioned after an irate exchange with the referee in relation to a foul on Germán Pezzella. They were battling to match Betis at times but sometimes, domestically and in Europe, that is the way to win matches. The United goalkeeper has been reinvigorated under Ten Hag after being heavily scrutinised for his form in recent years but shipping seven goals at the weekend had affected him and the rest of the United squad. He is relatively surprised to be a United player and is doing everything in his power to look as if he deserves this opportunity. The effort and energy was there in the early stages, although confidence had obviously taken a knock.

Erik was full of praise for his compatriot's unique skills, following Wout's goal against Real Betis.

He is a very fit player, and he recovers very well. He's also bringing good performances as the no.10 in the midfield.” As for the rest, there is the defending part which he is also very good [at].” He is physically capable to play a lot of games. But after the match, Erik ten Hag waxed lyrical about the tall forward's range of qualities. Ten Hag hinted that the 30-year-old might have featured less had the Frenchman been available more often, but again he opted to praise Weghorst, this time for his fitness and powers of recovery.

"He was a leader in playmaking from deep and controlling the rhythm of the game. "He was the best player on the pitch and it showed his personality. That is the next step. "He keeps focused, he keeps working, he keeps putting himself in the right positions and finally he got his reward. As a striker or No 10 in the midfield he's bringing a good performance. "He shows great personality and character, not only in this game [against Betis].

CHRIS WHEELER: Weghorst scored his first goal at Old Trafford - and second overall for United - in the Europa League win over Real Betis on Thursday night.

I tell him of course to link up there, which he is also doing as a high striker – linking up and getting in front of the goal when crosses are coming in, and also the defending part he is very good at it.' 'I think all the time we had a good plan, and it worked until now not always good,' added the United boss. The first of Martial's last 15 starts in all competitions came on March 11, 2021. with the loanee now racking up as many starts for the club as Anthony Martial has in the last two years 'So he showed great personality and character, not only in this game. He certainly lacks the same finesse as more technically adept strikers like Martial.
