Manchester United fans are fuming with attacker's performance despite win against Barcelona

Manchester United fans on Twitter are fuming with Burnley loanee Wout Weghorst's performance after his disaster class against Barcelona. Erik ten Hag named Weghorst in his team's starting XI to face the Blaugrana.

While United managed to register a come-from-behind win, Weghorst added little value to the team's performance.

Robert Lewandowski gave the Catalan club the lead with a penalty goal in the 18th minute of the match. Fred's right-footed striker, right after the break, beat Marc-Andre ter Stegen to find the back of the net in the 47th minute.

Antony struck a sweet left-footed shot in the 73rd minute to score the winner. While it was a good team performance from Ten Hag's side, Weghorst went missing yet again.

The towering striker, who was brought on loan from Burnley in January, lasted 45 minutes on the pitch. He managed zero shots on target, completed only two passes and lost possession of the ball seven times.

Fans opined that he should be nowhere near United's starting XI. One fan claimed that Ten Hag needs to stop his Weghorst experiment and use Fernandes as the no. 10.

Another wrote that the towering Dutchman is not even good enough for Championship side Burnley.

He wrote:

"Weghorst doesn’t press shit.. he’s not even Burnley level. I don’t see any contributions he makes in a game. With his yeye invisible pressing."

One Twitter user even called for the player's contract to be terminated, writing:

"Tonight has shown that we need to terminate Weghorst's contract."

Here are some of the best reactions across Twitter from Manchester United fans after Wout Weghorst's poor performance against Manchester United:

Sir Alex Ferguson enjoyed Manchester United star Antony's goal against Barcelona

Sir Alex Ferguson was in the stands to watch Manchester United play against Barcelona. The legendary manager enjoyed Antony's winner in the 73rd minute.

It was a fine finish from the Brazilian, and given the context of the game, it was a massive one for the team. Ferguson could be seen clapping from the stands and punching the air as Ten Hag's side took the lead.

Ferguson is the greatest manager in the Red Devils' history. His time at the helm lasted almost 27 years and spanned 1390 matches.
