WOUT WEGHORST showed Manchester United what they are missing as he scored a stunning goal for Holland.
The striker led the line for his country against the Republic of Ireland last night as the Dutch secured a 1-0 win.
It booked Ronald Koeman's men their place at Euro 2024.
Weghorst received the ball on the halfway line following a pass forward by Stefan de Vrij.
He had Nathan Collins pressuring him but the 31-year-old showed his strength to hold off the centre-back.
Weghorst let the ball run beyond him and then found a burst of pace as he sprinted beyond the Irish defence.

He has netted three in 11 matches for Hoffenheim this season.
This comes after his torrid time on loan at Man Utd last term.

Weghorst suffered a goal drought, scoring just twice in 26 games for the Red Devils.
None of his strikes for United came in the Premier League.

One said: "Where was this when he was at Old Trafford?"
Another added: "Bring him back to United."
A third reacted: "Fantastic from big Wout."
