Not even Messi humbled him so much, Carragher's mockery of Manchester United's new striker

The transfer market continues to give news around the big teams of the Premier League and this time a little joy had Manchester United fans to receive the news that the Dutch Wout Weghorst arrived at Old Trafford, if that player that Lionel Messi called "bobo" in the last World Cup in Qatar 2022 and went viral for the phrase of the Argentine star, "What are you looking at, bobo? Go over there, bobo".

It is now with Weghorst's arrival from Istanbul to Manchester that much controversy and comment has been created by the signing, as it was one of Liverpool's fierce rivals' legends Jaime Carragher who commented on The Oranje striker in a recent appearance on SKY Sports. I think Weghorst is too tall to play in the Premier League. I just don't see how this can work,' said the former Pool player.

The 197cm player is on loan this season with Besiktas in the Turkish Super Lig, where his card belongs to Burnley who did not trust him, thus sending him away from The Island, but a decent World Cup, where he shone in the game against champions Argentina in the quarter-finals, scoring both Netherlands goals that sent that game to a penalty shoot-out that gave the win and the famous phrase to Messi.

Carragher also added that it is only a matter of time before Weghorst can show why the Reds Devils repatriated him to the Premier League. "We should never judge coaches/players too early, but I'm convinced this can't work because of his size playing in attack," the former England player said. Jaime also took kindly to his words quoting the tweet from where this controversy was generated.

Reports from England reveal that Weghorst's arrival was a special request from Dutch coach Erick ten Hag, who after kicking Cristiano Ronaldo out of the squad to Saudi Arabia, took advantage of the World Cup to observe his new signing, finalising the transfer in a recession of the Turkish team for 3 million euros, thus leaving him free to join ten Hag's project that is now recovering some of the credibility he left in the Eredivisie.
