The Manchester United players and manager were delighted to see Wout Weghorst open his Manchester United account with a well-taken goal in the 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground.
Off the mark ✅

Weghorst scored United’s second goal of the match after he reacted the quickest to Antony’s rebounded shot to put United in a good position going into the half-time break, where they were 2-0 up.
Lisandro Martinez, who also scored his first United goal just three days ago, spoke about how pleased he was for the Dutchman to get on the scoresheet for Man United in only his third appearance for the club.

Erik ten Hag spoke to Sky Sports after the game, and the Dutchman said that he knows what his compatriot is “capable of”.
