Wout Weghorst has blamed Erik ten Hag’s tactics for his failed loan stint at Manchester United last season.

The Dutch striker joined the club from Burnley for the second-half of last season after the Red Devils paid Besiktas to cut short his loan with the Turkish side. 

Weghorst was delighted to make the move to Old Trafford and almost broke down in tears after scoring his first goal for the club in a Europa League clash with Real Betis. 

As reported by the Mirror, he said: ‘They were super successful months in which we hardly lost. I was also very important for the team, as both a focal point of play and hard-working link between midfield and attack.

‘Only my goals were lagging behind. That gnawed at me and was the reason why I lost my starting place.

‘The Premier League is by far the toughest league in the world, with the best defenders. But we were rarely the dominant side creating chances. And the way we played was also different from what I was used to.

‘In Germany and Turkey, the teams always played for me. I was the end of the line, while at United I mainly had to ensure that others could excel. I think I managed that very well. But whichever way you look at it, I would have liked to score much more often.’

United signed Weghorst after he helped the Netherlands reach the quarter-finals of the World Cup in Qatar.

Ten Hag’s side were short of options in attack, leading to the Red Devils paying around £2m to cut short his loan with Besiktas.

Weghorst scored two goals in 31 appearances for United and almost broke down in tears after scoring his first for the club in a Europa League last-16 clash with Spanish side Real Betis

Playing the Red Devils was his boyhood dream, though they opted against signing him in the summer transfer window.

Weghorst said: ‘There was zero adjustment time. The pressure was bizarre and the physical strain greater than I had ever experienced.’

This season he has scored four goals in 14 appearances for Hoffenheim.
