Wout Weghorst can head the line for the Netherlands, according to manager Ronald Koeman, who is confident in his abilities.
At the World Cup, Weghorst served as the Netherlands' impact sub, a position he has previously played.
Koeman thinks Weghorst's performances for Manchester United have shown that he is capable of providing more significant assistance to his nation.
Weghorst joined Manchester United in the January transfer window on loan, and he has played each and every game. He has played 18 straight games and is regarded as a crucial cog in Erik ten Hag's system.
This could alter once Anthony Martial returns from his injury, but Weghorst has filled in for the Frenchman in the interim.
The major drawback is that Weghorst has only tallied two goals so far. Positives include his ongoing availability and relentless running, which match the kind of work attitude Erik ten Hag values.
While speaking to Voetbal International, Ronald Koeman said: “Wout has developed in such a way that he is a serious option.”
On Friday, the Netherlands will play France, and on Monday, Gibraltar.With the latter opponents, Weghorst might have an opportunity to score some goals and build some confidence.
But what he really needs is some downtime. Manchester United would benefit from Marcus Rashford's withdrawal from the England team.
