CARRICK BACKS WELBECK

The Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has said that he is a big fan of his teammate at club level, Danny Welbeck. The Manchester United youth team prospect has become one of the established players within the team over the last couple of seasons. The loan spell at Sunderland has enabled him to come into the Manchester United first team in leaps and bounds according to the former Tottenham midfielder. He recently impressed at international level with the England national team match against San Marino. Michael Carrick reckons that Danny Welbeck has all it takes to become the future England star.

Danny Welbeck scored two goals in the 5-0 win over San Marino at Wembley recently. Even though Manchester United have signed the former Arsenal striker Robin van Persie for £ 24 million, Carrick reckons that Welbeck will be able to show his quality even with this increased competition. Manchester United now have four good strikers including Danny Welbeck, which makes it difficult for him to get into the first-team on a regular basis. Carrick has said that many question the ability of Danny Welbeck to fit into the team following the arrival of van Persie, but he has made the seamless switch according to the midfielder.

“I am a massive fan. I am probably a bit biased because of the United connection. But ever since I have seen Danny I have been a huge fan and I expected big things of him. He has had a terrific couple of years now. People were looking at him when we signed Van Persie saying ‘where is his position, where is he going to fit in? But he showed he is still a major part of it,” said Michael Carrick. England will be having the tough away match against Poland on Wednesday.

However, replays clearly showed that Danny Welbeck made no contact with the Wigan goalkeeper, but went to the ground – a bit like Luis Suarez.

A penalty was awarded in the match, but justification was done after Manchester United’s penalty was saved by the Wigan keeper. Even though begins to lost the match quite badly, the manager Roberto Martinez has said that the penalty early in the match gave his side a nervousness that they were unable to recover from throughout the match. He has said that his disappointed with the diving attitude of the England international Danny Welbeck, who recently extended his contract with the Old Trafford club.

“For Danny Welbeck’s last challenge, his foot was over the ball on Franco. It is completely reckless. Under the new regulations you cannot do that. I am not arguing whether they should be in the game or not. That is for others. But with the laws as they are, you cannot tackle people like that. The foot is over the ball. It is reckless and dangerous. It is a red card, for a Wigan player, Manchester United, everyone,” said the Wigan manager Roberto Martinez. Wigan have only one victory in the season till date.

A few days ago, Welbeck had said that he would not sign a new contract with United until he gets a big hike in his salary. Earlier, the club was not ready to accept the salary demand of Welbeck. So, there had been rumors that Welbeck might leave the club. But, Ferguson ended all these rumors by saying that the club has accepted the demand of Welbeck eventually. In the last season, the weekly salary of Welbeck was 16,000 pounds.

Welbeck had joined United in 2005 when he was only 15 years old. He played his first match for the youth team of Manchester United against Sunderland in 2006. In the 2006-07 season, he played 28 matches for the youth team and scored 9 goals. In the next season, he was included in the first team of the club.

CONTRACT TALKS ONGOING

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed that the talks with the striker Danny Welbeck has been ongoing in recent weeks and that he is hopeful that the youth team product will sign a new deal with the club. The 21-year-old has become one of the surprise packages of last season for Manchester United after he managed to keep out the likes of Hernandez and Dimitar Berbatov out of the starting line-up. He also scored almost 20 goals in his first season with Manchester United. Due to the fact that he has only two years left on his current contract, United are ready to offer him a new deal.

However, it is understood that both parties are way off before they can come to terms of the new deal. This is due to the fact that Danny Welbeck is demanding around £ 60,000 per week, while Manchester United are ready to offer him only half of the amount. Danny Welbeck’s stock has risen in recent weeks after he managed to successfully lead England to victories in the first two group matches of the Euro 2012. He led the line up in the absence of his Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney, who was suspended.

“We are negotiating with Danny’s brothers. They represent him. It’s difficult to say where we are with that at this moment in time. We’ve fostered him. He’s always had growth spurts and things like that, so we fostered him right that period when he was developing. I don’t think he’s got his full body yet. I think there’s a lot of growth in him yet. I don’t think he’ll get taller, he’s 6ft 3ins now,” said Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson regarding the future of Danny Welbeck. The youngster came through the academy at United.

WELBECK PRAISES WALCOTT

Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck has revealed that Arsenal winger Theo Walcott is largely responsible for the magnificent 3-2 win over Sweden in the second group game of the Euro 2012 for England. England were coming into the match on the back of a 1-1 draw with France, who had earlier won their second group game against Ukraine 2-0. As a result, it put tremendous pressure on England to deliver a win against Sweden. It was going to be extremely difficult given that Sweden have been unbeaten against England in the last seven matches.

It proved to be a difficult match as many expected after England were looking at the possibility of a 2-1 defeat after the hour mark. However, a goal from Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott helped England win the match 3-2. As a result, there are the favourites to qualify from the group stage ahead of Ukraine. Danny Welbeck said after the match that he is extremely delighted at the influence Theo Walcott had in the match. The Arsenal winger came as a substitute in the match when they were trailing, and was responsible for the turnaround after he scored one and set up the other for Danny Welbeck.

‘We’re all very pleased for Theo. We know when he gets on the pitch he’s going to make a difference. That’s what he’s done today. I’m delighted to get the winning goal but it was more of a team performance. At the start of the second half we let in two sloppy goals and that’s something we want to put behind us. But our team spirit showed and we’re delighted to get three points,’ said goal scoring hero Danny Welbeck after the match. Liverpool striker Andy Carroll scored the opening goal for England in the first half.

WELBECK PROGRESSES WELL

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.

WELBECK RELIEVED WITH GOAL

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.

CHICHARITO PRAISES DANNY

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.

WELBECK SCORES FOR 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.

Welbeck Wants to Sign

Danny Welbeck has handed Man United a massive boost as he signalled his intention to stay at Man Utd, and sign a new five year contract. It is thought that next month the 20 year old England striker will sit down with club officials and discuss a £45,000-a-week deal for five years.

It is thought that United are giving Welbeck the deal to show their gratitude for the incredible form he has been in since he returned to United from a spell away on loan at Sunderland. Welbeck who enjoyed a good last season with Sunderland has 18 months currently left on his contract that currently grabs him £15,000 a week without bonuses. It was revealed in the summer how initial talks were held and they were thought to be trebling his wages whilst extending the young Englishman’s deal for a further five years.

United have been busy trying to tie down their exciting new youngsters with better deals. New deals are thought to be being offered to the likes of Smalling, Cleverley and Hernandez, as well as Welbeck. But finally United aim to lure the striker into a new deal with a final wage of £65,000 should he ultimately trigger appearance and goal targets.

Welbeck is expected to sit out Tuesday’s home Champions League match with Benfica because Alex Ferguson hunts for the win required to top the group and dodge the big name teams in the knockout stages.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: “That is probably the bonus out of it — you hope you do finish top. First of all there are certain teams there and that is one issue but the most important one is that second game is at Old Trafford and that is always an advantage.”
