He had a strong encounter with the Argentina captain and is closely followed by Manchester United after the World Cup.

The path of Lionel Messi and the Argentine team was not easy in the World Cup in Qatar and the Albiceleste was close to saying goodbye to the tournament in the quarterfinals, when they faced the Netherlands and had to define the pass to the next round in the penalty shootout. Now, a Dutch rival who had a strong encounter with the 'Flea', could be Lisandro Martínez's teammate at Manchester United.

This is Wout Weghorst. The already well-known striker from the Netherlands, who was the protagonist of the phrase "What are you looking at, silly", launched by the top winner of the Ballon d'Or (7) after qualifying for the semifinals, is in the crosshairs of the 'red devils' ', after his role in the World Cup developed in the Middle East.

Weghorst was close to leaving the Argentine team out of the World Cup, since he scored a double to equalize the commitment and extend the drama to the charges from 12 steps. The offensive player was defiant throughout the match and saw the yellow card on the substitute bench before entering the field of play.

What possibility is there that he is a teammate of Lisandro Martínez at Manchester United?

Journalist Fabrizio Romano confirmed that Weghorst is 100% excited to leave the Turkish Süper Lig and move to the Premier League. The controversial striker, who was ironic in pointing out that at least Lionel Messi knows that he exists after his verbal exchange, belongs to Besiktas and has a contract until 2025. The "red devils" are looking for a striker after the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo.
