Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said that he is extremely pleased with the development shown by England striker Danny Welbeck this season. Danny Welbeck spent the last season on loan at Sunderland. It is a loan spell that has worked in favour of the player after he has been a sensation at Manchester United this season so much so that he has been able to keep out striker Hernandez out of the starting line-up. Hernandez scored 20 goals in his debut season for Manchester United, but has been unable to get game time at United this season due to the form of Welbeck.
Speaking ahead of the most important game of their season, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson said that he is certainly surprised, but happy about the development made by Welbeck, whose rise to fame has helped England top the charts of the euro betting markets. Welbeck has been the main reason for Wayne Rooney flourishing as a striker for United this season. Rooney has scored 33 goals for United this season, and owes a lot of them due to the work rate of the United youngster. Apart from helping Rooney score all the major goals for United, Welbeck has also been able to chip in with 12 goals this season.
“With Danny being fit again and playing consistently, he’s developed. I think last week we saw something special. I know there was a lot of reference to the Yorke and Cole thing and I think there are similarities to that. I thought Welbeck’s movement was fantastic last week. He did really well. Attacking-wise we were terrific in the second half. Wayne is 26 now and Danny is 21. I would think over the next few years it can only get better. I hope so,” Sir Alex Ferguson said ahead of the Manchester City game. United go into the fixture with a three-point advantage over their rivals.

Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck has said that he is extremely relieved to end the goal drought, which has been a major problem for him in the last 10 games. Danny Welbeck has not scored for the last 10 games, which has really been a major dent for his confidence. However, he scored his first goal after a long time in the 5-0 thrashing of Wolverhampton Wanderers recently. Manchester United came into the match against Wolves knowing that they could maintain their lead at the top of the table over Manchester City with a win. They did exactly that against a very poor Wolves team.
The sacking of manager Mick McCarthy was expected to provide some confidence to the team, but it has worked in the opposite way for Wolves. They are now struggling down near the bottom of the table, and even worse is fact that the team is struggling to plug a leaky defence. Danny Welbeck last scored for Manchester United in the match against Arsenal almost 8 weeks ago. It looks like a distant memory now. Even though Danny Welbeck said after the match that he was extremely relieved to score and bring an end to his goal drought, winning the game was far more important.
“Before the game, I actually thought I do need a goal. Thankfully, Sir Alex Ferguson kept picking me and it came today. But you can’t let these things play on your mind, you just play your normal game and, as long as the team keeps winning, that’s the main thing,” Welbeck said after the match. Welbeck was at the receiving end of the Ronald Zubar tackle, which resulted in the red card for the Wolves player. It proved to be the turning point in a match, as Manchester United ran riot after the red card.

Manchester United striker Javier Hernandez has said that Danny Welbeck is simply amazing and that he is starting to accept the competition for his role within the Manchester United team. Javier Hernandez is finding it difficult to break into the first team this season after doing so well last term. One of the main reasons for this is the number of injury problems he has suffered this season. Another reason is also the fantastic form shown by Danny Welbeck, who has been used on a number of occasions by Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson. In the previous season, Dimitar Berbatov has affected by the form of Javier Hernandez.
Now, Javier Hernandez is being affected by the form of Danny Welbeck. Despite this, the Mexican said that he is extremely amazed at the performances displayed by Danny Welbeck. It is one of the reasons why he is starting to accept the fact that nobody is sure of first-team place at Manchester United due to the huge competition involved. Manchester United will be facing Ajax in the last 32 of the Europa league hoping to progress in the competition. Manchester United are only left in two competitions this season – Premier league and Europa league.
“It has been a little bit frustrating because I have been injured a lot. I am happy and I am still enjoying it. It is a privilege to play for Manchester United, whether things are going good or bad, I want to keep that attitude. Competition is normal at a club like this. You need to be at your best to help the team. That is the most important thing,” the Mexico international said. Despite getting eliminated from the Champions League and FA Cup, Javier Hernandez has said that he is confident of achieving glory this season with Manchester United.

Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck was on the score sheet for Manchester United in their match against Bolton. It helped Manchester United closed the gap to Manchester City to just the goal difference, although Manchester City have the opportunity to once again re-establish their three-point advantage when they take on Wigan athletic on Monday night.
However, closing down the gap was the best Manchester United could do on the evening and it was started off by Paul Scholes, who recently returned from retirement on the request from Sir Alex Ferguson. Manchester United has been suffering a number of injury problems of late, which has meant that youngsters like Danny Welbeck have been getting a number of opportunities.
The England striker did not disappoint in the match against Bolton as well. He was on the score sheet, as his second goal gave Manchester United in the comfortable lead they were demanding. Paul Scholes scored in the injury time of the first half to the Manchester United the lead. Danny Welbeck then doubled Manchester United’s advantage in the second half, although all was not rosy for Manchester United, as Wayne Rooney missed a penalty. Michael Carrick then continued his goal scoring form in recent weeks to put the game beyond any doubt in the 83rd minute.
“With everything he has got going for him, he could be capable of being in the team every week. You have got a kid busting a gut and desperate to impress everyone — the supporters, management and staff and, in this present day and age, that is worth its weight in gold. He has got what a lot of young players have not got in this day and age — he is focused, enthusiastic and wants to do it,” Former United star Lou Macari said in praise of Danny Welbeck.
