The Dutchman has helped Ten Hag install his playstyle at United, bringing a pressing ability to Old Trafford that was sorely missed with Cristiano Ronaldo leading the line.
But he has scored just one goal in 14 starts, missing an abundance of chances, and it has become clear, if it wasn’t already, that he isn’t a long-term fix.
Fans will appreciate goals more than an apology, with Weghorst the latest to take to social media to vow United will bounce back from the thrashing on Merseyside.
He could start a 15th successive game since arriving in January against Real Betis on Thursday before Southampton visit M16 on Sunday.
