Hoffenheim striker Weghorst admits Man Utd regrets

Hoffenheim striker Wout Weghorst admits some regret over his time at Manchester United.

Weghorst spent six months on-loan with United last season from Burnley.

He said: "They were super successful months in which we hardly lost. I was also very important for the team as both a focal point of play and the hard-working link between midfield and attack.

"Only my goals were lagging behind. That gnawed at me and was the reason why I lost my starting place. The Premier League is by far the toughest league in the world, with the best defenders.

"But we were rarely the dominant side creating chances. And the way we played was also different from what I was used to. In Germany and Turkey, the teams always played for me.

"I was the end of the line, while at United, I mainly had to ensure that others could excel. I think I managed that very well. But whichever way you look at it, I would have liked to score much more often."
