EPL: He’s very good player – Sean Dyche hails Ronaldo’s replacement at Man United

Everton manager, Sean Dyche has described Manchester United striker, Wout Weghorst as a very good and professional player.

Dyche said his players won’t underate the Dutch international as doing so would be a mistake.

Weghorst moved to Manchester United from Burnley on loan in the winter transfer window.

He was to provide cover for Cristiano Ronaldo, who left the club in November and injury prone Anthony Martial.

Since his arrival, the striker has played regularly under Erik ten Hag but has not scored a single goal for the Red Devils in nine games.

Dyche’s Everton take on Manchester United on Saturday and the manager does not think Weghorst should be underestimated.

Addressing the press on Thursday Dyche heaped praise on his former player, “He’s a very good player.

“He worked very hard; he’s very professional.

“I certainly wouldn’t underestimate him as a player. I hope he is not such a good pro if he plays on Saturday!”
