‘You’re playing with 10 men most weeks if he’s in!': Richard Keys gives brutal verdict on Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst and insists Dutch target man 'doesn't do enough to justify a starting place'

Richard Keys has slammed Wout Weghorst after his recent performances, claiming he 'doesn't do enough to justify a starting place'.

The Dutch striker arrived at Manchester United on loan from Burnley as Erik ten Hag sought a short-term option up front after losing Cristiano Ronaldo.

Weghorst played a deeper role than usual against Leicester, as the Red Devils won 3-0 thanks to another two goals from the in-form Marcus Rashford.

Despite United's excellent recent performances, they have won six out of nine and lost just once since Weghorst's debut in mid January, Keys felt the 30-year-old has been a liability.
