We scored goals last season without many goals coming from Ash orJay. They played a similar role to that Weghorst played at United. I would imagine we would look very similar if we played Weghorst as a direct replacement for Ash. However, I was very interested to watch an interview with Phil Foden b...

Re: It’s now up to the players

One significant difference from recent performances will be Ben Mee.
