Manchester United striker Wout Weghorst defended touching the iconic "This is Anfield" sign in the tunnel before his side's 7-0 thrashing against Liverpool by reaffirming his commitment to the club, adding he only did it to "to wind up" compatriot Virgil van Dijk.
Weghorst came under criticism from supporters after he was filmed reaching for the sign at the same time as Van Dijk on the way out to the pitch. The Burnley loanee said he knew "from the national team" that the Netherlands defender "always touches the sign."
"The only intention I had was to stop him touching it and wind him up," he said on an Instagram story.
