Beyond his performance during the
2022 World Cup in Qatar
and his double against the
National Team
in the quarterfinals, the name of
Wout Weghorst
transcended all barriers in the world of football
due to Lionel Messi's already popular and epic phrase in full mixed zone, after beating the Netherlands on penalties.
In a crossover that will remain to be remembered and that will surely be replicated over and over again
every time the World Cup, Messi's career and the best moments in football history are remembered,
the 10th of the National Team faced the Dutch giant and he blurted out: "What are you looking at, stupid? Go over there, stupid."
As the days went by, and trying to leave behind -without much success- everything that was generated by his crossover with Messi,
Weghorst made news again, but this time for his arrival at Manchester United
.
And after the presentation, this Monday he joined the practices and, as evidenced by the images shared by the club,
he trained alongside Lisandro Martínez and Alejandro Garnacho.
How will the Argentine players on the squad have received it?
Will he already have a nickname in the locker room?
The truth is that, beyond everything that was generated with the 10, Weghorst came to United to add in attack and
Erik ten Hag wants to have him as soon as
possible .
Thus, the striker
is already working thinking of being available for this Wednesday's game against Crystal Palace in the Premier League.
On the side of Garnacho and Lisandro,
who entered in the second part in the victory in the classic against City,
they are also available and the DT could use them from the start on the visit to London.
Sneijder did not throw good vibes at his compatriot
"There are 300 strikers like him in the Premier League. It must be a joke, it can't be true
," was the phrase released by Wesley Sneijder, runner-up in the world in South Africa 2010 with the Netherlands, when he found out about the possibility -at that time uncertain - Weghorst signing for United.
And finally, the rumor became reality.
