Wout Weghorst, the striker on loan, is hopeful about staying at the club beyond the summer. Manchester United has grappled with scoring goals this season. No doubt, it has been one of the biggest problems. The fitness woes of Anthony Martial, the petulance of Cristiano Ronaldo, and the inability of Wout Weghorst to finish. These three have their struggles.
With Erik ten Hag at the helm of things, Manchester United has been on a winning spree this season. Erik’s reign has started excellently here as the team has claimed a 14th home win recently. There is an upcoming Leeds United game, a team that is currently without a manager. Hence, here too Manchester United is coming in as a favorite. They hope to gain points that will put them on a level with Manchester City. Indeed, United has been performing well, even better than forecasts under Erik. They slumped home to the sixth position last season. But now Ten Hag has big improvements in his plans and hopes to get the team to close gaps on top sides.
It is hoped that United will also be eligible to play in the Champions League if they continue with their current performance levels. It will also create a greater appeal among international talents for the team when the summer signings come up. They have spent modestly during the January transfer window and hence, they can afford to go big to strengthen the squad further. It is reported that they would be looking at big-money arrivals. Among them would be a striker from the big leagues, a midfielder, and a right-back player. Read More
The 37-year-old walked down the tunnel before full-time and left Old Trafford, with Ten Hag then telling Ronaldo he would not be considered for the weekend and ordering him to train away from the rest of the squad. Since the 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Saturday, United’s players have had two days off so only returned to Carrington on Tuesday to begin preparations for the Europa League game against Sherrif Tiraspol, which takes place on Thursday. 
Among them, Marcus Rashford, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Donny van de Beek and Anthony Martial are notable absentees alongside new summer signing Martin Dubravka. Martial has been sidelined since picking up an Achilles injury against Liverpool last month, and it is quite clear that the Frenchman has yet to return to training. It appears Rashford, Van de Beek and Wan-Bissaka are also carrying minor injuries, having been absent for Wednesday’s early training session in Carrington. 
Manchester United were reportedly the one of the first clubs to show interest in the 19-year-old striker and have been quick to hold talks with the Austrian club over a summer move. Red Bull Salzburg reportedly rate the Slovenian international at around €50 million and talks are ongoing with multiple interested parties. 
Ronaldo, 37, has informed Manchester United officials to accept any suitable offer made for him as he desires to leave Manchester United this summer after one year following his return to the club last summer. He made his return to the Theatre of Dreams for the first time in twelve (12) years last summer. The Portuguese international signed for Manchester United from Italian Serie A side Juventus at the start of last season. He went on to score 24 goals in all competitions in the first season of his second Manchester United spell including 18 goals in the Premier League. The other six goals came in the Champions League as he failed to prevent the Red Devils from being eliminated at the hands of Spanish team Atletico Madrid at the round of 16 stage.
