MANCHESTER UNITED fans are not happy after it has emerged that Wout Weghorst hopes he has a future at the club.

According to The Times Weghorst is hopeful about extending his stay at Old Trafford with positive talks said to be taking place with the club.

Wout Weghorst has taken a back seat in recent weeks under Erik ten Hag, starting only one of the last seven league games

Weghorst has yet to score in the Premier League

The Burnley loanee has made 27 appearances in all competitions for Man Utd, but has only managed to score three goals.

The 30-year-old’s poor form has meant Man Utd fans aren’t pleased at the news he could be signing a new deal with the club.

Many took to Twitter to voice their opinion on the potential extension.

One called for Erik ten Hag to be sacked if this were to happen, writing: “If this happens ETH needs to leave tomorrow.”

Another joked that they would only want Weghorst at Man Utd as a groundsman.

They wrote: “Unless the club needs a groundsman I don’t know what decision there is to be made.”

A third made their opinion clear, they said: “He has no future in Manchester United after this season. We don’t need Weghorst next season.”

The Red Devils have recently struggled to recapture their electric from from earlier in the season.

Their top four hopes took a big hit after they lost 1-0 to West Ham last time out.

Weghorst spoke about his future in an interview after the Hammers loss.

He said: “In those [talks] the club said they are very satisfied with me, It has absolutely not been communicated with me that Man United don’t want to continue with me.

“They appreciate my value. They believe I am absolutely an asset for the team.

“Of course I have heard different things. I have to wait and see what happens and focus on our goals in the league and cup competitions.”
