Darren Ferguson has hailed Danny Welbeck for his "magnificent" first goal in Preston North End colours. Welbeck netted with a sublime chip from the edge of the box to seal PNE's victory over Ipswich Town at Deepdale on Saturday.

Neill Collins had earlier put them in front with a close-range header within five minutes of coming on as a substitute. Ferguson said: It was a magnificent finish from Danny, you may call it cheeky but it was one hell of a finish, he showed great composure.

"We've got to be a bit careful not to place too much responsibilty in his hands, Danny is only 19 and has come into a really hard league which he's never played in before. He's not had too much football lately but this goal will kick him on. As soon as he scored you saw the shackles come off a little bit, he grew in confidence. You would have paid to see that goal alone, and all the football betting says that he'll be a great striker in the future."

MANCHESTER United forward Danny Welbeck is set to be rewarded with a new four-year contract at Old Trafford, according to a report.

The Longsight-born star, 18, has made two appearances this season and scored the goal that knocked Wolves out of the Carling Cup.

Now boss Sir Alex Ferguson is set to reward the youngster with a new £12,000-per-week deal, report The Sun. Helooks a good sports bet to be a big player for United in the future.

Meanwhile, Belgian defender Ritchie De Laet has had his contract extended to 2012.

Sir Alex Ferguson is tipping Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck to challenge for a place in England's World Cup squad next summer.

At 18, Welbeck is in the fledgling stage of his career and is still well down the pecking order at Old Trafford. Online betting uk doesn't agree with Fergie and Welbeck is at long odds to make the squad

However, Ferguson clearly feels the teenager has the world at his feet as he is backing him to catch the eye of England coach Fabio Capello.

"I've told Fabio Capello the boy will be in his World Cup squad next year," said Ferguson.

"Wide left or right or through the middle, he has the intelligence, guts, athleticism, determination and talent to do the job."

Manchester United's second string could decide the Premier League's relegation battle when they face Hull City on the final day.

Hull dropped into the bottom three following Newcastle's win against Middlesbrough, and travel to Bolton on Saturday before hosting United next Sunday. And the Tigers could find themselves up against inexperienced players such as Federico Macheda and Darron Gibson instead of superstars Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney.

A Hull victory at the KC Stadium could keep them in the top flight and cause uproar among the other relegation candidates.

The last game of the league season comes just three days before United play the Champions League final against Barcelona. Alex Ferguson's side could wrap up the Premier League title by this weekend if they claim four points in their matches against Wigan and Arsenal.

If they do, it is inconceivable that Ferguson will pick his strongest side to play Hull on May 24, as he will be eager to rest his stars ahead of the Rome showdown the following Wednesday.

The Scot has shown he is unafraid to choose a weakened team for big games, having selected a virtual reserve side for the FA Cup semi-final against Everton.

Lesser-known players such as Macheda, Gibson, Danny Welbeck and Fabio da Silva held the Toffees to a goalless draw over 120 minutes before going out on penalties.

There is no guarantee that a Hull side with two wins from their last 27 Premier League games would triumph, but Phil Brown would rather take his chances against the second-string.

Danny Welbeck has proven himself in the reserves, and is now looking to establish himselfin teh first team. His ability is unquestioned, and his stunning goals (as seen in our videos section) prove that heis clinical in front of goal!
