Former Man Utd player leaves training abruptly after argument with Arsenal's Jurrien Timber.
Wout Weghorst, the former Manchester United striker, was not a happy camper during a Netherlands training session on Sunday. The reason? A heated clash between him and Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber. It seems like tensions were high as Netherlands head coach Ronald Koeman had to step in and put a stop to the altercation. Weghorst was visibly angry after Timber's challenge during a game and the two players exchanged words. Even when Koeman tried to calm the situation, Weghorst couldn't help but complain about Timber's tackle.

Koeman, being the peacemaker that he is, tried to diffuse the situation by talking to both players. However, Weghorst was still fuming and Koeman was heard shouting, "And now it's over!" It seems like Weghorst's frustrations didn't end there as he was seen laughing cynically when Timber's twin brother, Quinten, bumped him from behind. The striker even had to take a brief break from the session, standing aside with his hands on a training mannequin, before continuing with the session.

Once the training session was over, Weghorst didn't waste any time and immediately left the pitch. He even took off his training shirt, while the rest of his teammates stayed on the field. When asked about Weghorst's behavior, Koeman clarified that the striker had no injury and it seems like he was just upset about the tackle. Netherlands is currently preparing for their second Nations League game against Germany and Koeman's side is riding high after their 5-2 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina in their opener.

It was a great night for United striker Joshua Zirkzee, who scored his first international goal after just 13 minutes. Netherlands is looking to continue their winning streak and it seems like they have a strong team this year. With the tension between Weghorst and Timber, it will be interesting to see how they work together on the field. But for now, all eyes are on the game against Germany on Tuesday evening.
