If their pursuit of Wout Weghorst is successful, Manchester United must be mindful of Lionel Messi’s warning upon signing the Burnley striker.
With nine goals in 18 appearances, the 30-year-old Dutch forward has impressed since his loan spell at Besiktas.
The 6ft 5ins tall striker offers a physical presence that could lend itself to a direct style of play.
However, United must be careful not to go down this route with their new signing if they hope to continue playing attractive, free-flowing football as practiced under manager Erik ten Hag since his arrival at Old Trafford.
Former Reds boss Louis van Gaal was chastised by none other than Messi himself after deploying an approach that relied heavily on long balls when taking on Argentina in the 2018 World Cup quarter-finals – a tactic which nearly worked but still resulted in a late penalty defeat for Netherlands.
Messi’s warning must be heeded if United are to make the most out of Weghorst as opposed to making him their ‘Plan A’.
With considered management, the Reds will have an astute acquisition on their hands should they sign him.
