JAKARTA - A danger signal has been given by Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag, to Wout Weghorst. There is no Weghorst name in the hopes of Ten Hag.

Ten Hag asked five Manchester United players to score more goals. That's in order to realize the Red Devils' ambition to occupy the top four positions and add more trophies before the season ends.

Currently, MU is becoming very dependent on the figure of Marcus Rashford in terms of scoring goals. The England striker has scored 27 goals in all competitions.

He has also scored 25 more goals than Weghorst, who has struggled with 18 appearances at Manchester United since signing in January.

Of course Rashford can't always be relied on. This is what makes Ten Hag hope other players can replace Rashford's duties.

"I think we have players like Bruno (Fernandes), like Jadon Sancho, like Anthony Martial, like Scott McTominay, like Antony dos Santos, we have enough players with the ability to score goals, for sure," Ten Hag was quoted as saying by The Sun.

Ten Hag admits that he has started working to prepare for next season. However, he is still thinking about how to navigate the rest of this season well.

"So first of all make sure everyone is available and continue to improve the way they play and that's the best chance to score more goals," he said.

Fernandes has 10 goals this season and is the only Manchester United player besides Rashford who has double-digit goals.

Antony already has a collection of seven goals, Martial six goals, Sancho five goals and McTominay and Weghorst both have two goals.
