Former Man United star storms off after being involved in heated clash with Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber in Netherlands training

A former Manchester United star stormed off after being involved in a clash with Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber in Netherlands training.

The forward was angry following a challenge by Timber as the Netherlands prepared for their Nations League clash at home to Germany on Tuesday.

Netherlands coach Ronald Koeman had to intervene and separate the pair.

Timber is back in the Netherlands squad for the first time in over a year following his recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury.  

The Netherlands secured a 5-2 win at home to Bosnia and Herzegovina on Saturday.

Wout Weghorst was frustrated with Timber’s challenge. The striker had a spell on loan at Manchester United from Burnley in 2023. He made the switch to Ajax last month.

As reported by The Metro, Koeman attempted to act as peacemaker and said: ‘I said something to you, I said something to them.’

Weghorst continued to express his frustration, to which Koeman replied: ‘And now it’s over!’.

32-year-old Weghorst briefly stood aside following the incident. 

After the session had concluded Weghorst left the training pitch immediately and removed his training shirt.  

Koeman later confirmed that Weghorst, who was amongst the scorers against Bosnia, hadn’t suffered an injury. 

Weghorst has scored 13 goals in 40 appearances for the Netherlands since making his international debut in 2018.
