Drinking it in
Wout Weghorst admits he was overcome by emotion after Manchester United’s Carabao Cup success on Sunday evening.
The towering striker, 30, only arrived at Old Trafford in January, terminating a season-long loan with Turkish club Besiktas to instead link up with the Red Devils until the end of the campaign.
Having not pulled up trees with his parent club Burnley last term, Weghorst was a surprise addition to Erik ten Hag’s squad but played a key role in United’s second goal against Newcastle at Wembley by releasing Marcus Rashford.
After sealing a first career trophy, the Netherlands international said: “I just took a moment at full-time. I can do really tough or I can do really cool but, yeah, for me this is a childhood dream.
“A childhood dream to play for this amazing club, to play a final and also be important in this final with the second goal.
“So, yeah, I took a moment there and that was the greatest moment of the evening.”
The success was all the sweeter for the former Wolfsburg star having lost in two previous cup final appearances earlier in his career.
He added: “In the Netherlands I played two cup finals, lost both of them. This was the third time for me.
“So, yeah, also for me it’s personal and it’s really nice to win a trophy.”
Klinsmann’s Korea change
Jurgen Klinsmann is back in international management after being confirmed as South Korea’s new head coach.
Klinsmann, 58, has enjoyed stints in charge of Germany and the United States previously and takes over from Paulo Bento, who stepped down from his role after the 2022 World Cup.
It is a first managerial job since leaving Hertha Berlin in 2020, the Tottenham hero will link up with a modern-day Spurs star in the form of Heung-Min Son.
South Korea reached the knockout stage in Qatar three months ago before exiting to Brazil 4-1 in the competition’s last 16.
Souness’ CPR plea
Liverpool legend Graeme Souness has teamed up with the British Heart Foundation to encourage football fans to learn CPR.
A recent study conducted by the BHF suggested 45% of British adults would not spot signs of a cardiac arrest — something the Scot wants to change.
The 69-year-old wants fans to check out the BHF’s new online tool, RevivR, which teaches a viewer how to perform CPR in just 15 minutes.
Souness said: “CPR is a game changer and could be the most important lesson you ever learn. With RevivR, in just 15 minutes — the length of half-time — you will have the skills to save a life.
“Every fan in every football club across the country can make a difference, so please join the BHF today and let’s unite to create a new team of lifesavers.”
Christian Eriksen famously suffered a cardiac arrest while playing for Denmark at Euro 2020, with the on-site medical team saving the Manchester United midfielder’s life.
