Dutch manager Ronald Koeman said that every great team needs both 'Dutch and English qualities' after old-fashioned target man Wout Weghorst, rejected by Manchester United after a six-month loan spell, secured a vital late win over Poland.

Koeman revealed that the 31-year-old, who didn't score once in the Premier League during half a season at Old Trafford last year, had been unhappy when told he was not a guaranteed Euros starter.

'I tried to explain by every individual player the possibilities for starting or coming on the pitch in the second half when we need a different play,' Koeman said.
