VIDEO: Wout Weghorst Breaks Down In Tears After Scoring For Man United

An emotional Wout Weghorst struggled to hold back the tears as he ended his Manchester United goal drought against Real Betis on Thursday.

The Dutchman, who hadn’t scored since January 25 for his new team, shown adequate predatory instincts late in the game.

Following some diligent play down the right from substitute Facundo Pellistri, Weghorst was the one to react first to Claudio Bravo’s save from Scott McTominay’s original shot.

The striker then went to the corner in joyous celebration, where his United teammates quickly surrounded him as the thrill of finally scoring was evident to all.

Weghorst’s 82nd-minute goal made it 4-1 overall, capping off an incredible comeback by Erik ten Hag’s team, who were anxious to put Sunday’s 7-0 thrashing at the hands of Liverpool behind them.

Weghorst’s outburst of fury may have been a reflection of his personal contribution to that defeat after the Dutchman was compelled to defend touching the famous Anfield sign prior to the game after receiving criticism for it.

With United’s next match against Premier League strugglers Southampton on Sunday, the Dutchman will likely start from the opening kickoff for Ten Hag, as he has in every game since signing in January.
