CHRIS WHEELER: Wout Weghorst is more useful to Man United than Cristiano Ronaldo ever was... the striker won't win the Golden Boot but his selfless attitude allows the stars around him to thrive

We were into the fifth minute of added time at Old Trafford and Wout Weghorst was still going. Still pressing for his team. He chased down Nayef Aguerd one last time and forced the beleaguered West Ham defender into another error as he miscontrolled Marcus Rashford’s cross. The ball ran loose for Fred to apply the simplest of finishes to Manchester United’s FA Cup fifth round victory.

Aguerd must have been sick of the sight of Weghorst. It was the big Dutchman’s presence at a 77th-minute corner that forced Aguerd into heading into his own net and levelling this tie at 1-1.
