Manchester United fans hail loan signing Wout Weghorst as the new Marouane Fellaini after Erik ten Hag deployed the 6ft 6in striker in the No 10 role behind Marcus Rashford against Barcelona

Manchester United fans have hailed loan striker Wout Weghorst as the new Marouane Fellaini following his No 10 role against Barcelona.

Erik ten Hag's side drew 2-2 with the Catalan giants at the Nou Camp, but the Dutchman made some tactical decisions before kick-off.

Weghorst, who was brought in to fill United's No 9 void, was deployed behind Marcus Rashford with Bruno Fernandes to the right and Jadon Sancho to the left.

The No 10 role is not one Weghorst is massively familiar with, having always been a striker at AZ Alkmaar, Wolfsburg, Burnley and Besiktas.
