Ex-Manchester United striker, Wout Weghorst has come out to say that the penalty he scored vs Hungary is secondary to life. This is coming following criticism for his celebration shortly after a Hungary coach collapsed, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he is sorry for how his celebration appeared insensitive during the game, and he simply wasn’t thinking during that moment.
Weghorst added that he actually went into the Hungary dressing room to ask about the status of their coach at half-time.
His words, “I don’t think I need to explain to anyone that my penalty is secondary to a life. I didn’t think about it for a moment during the match. In the end, the match goes on. Then you have to switch. You’re so focused, in the tension. But afterwards you think: someone has just been resuscitated… I honestly didn’t think about that.
I went to ask them how things were going during half-time. Just got back to the dressing room. Everything is fine, he’s talking again. Thank God it’s all good.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992, beating Nottingham Forest 1–0 in the second to win that competition for the first time as well.
