Danny Welbeck

Danny Welbeck | Manchester United & England

Danny Welbeck will not be part of Arsenal’s pre-season tour of Asia but it is not due to any concerns about an impending departure from the club.

Manager Arsene Wenger has confirmed that the striker has still not recovered sufficiently from the injury problems that he suffered towards the end of last season. It was Welbeck’s first season at the Emirates stadium and one that ended in a positive note after the club won the FA Cup. Welbeck played a significant role throughout the campaign, but he missed some important matches due to injury. The FA Cup final was one of them, but Arsenal did not suffer without the former Manchester United man as they romped to a 4-0 win over Aston Villa.

Danny Welbeck is one of the players who are being viewed as the future stars for England along with: Luke Shaw, Ross Barkley, Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling. Welbeck however has not been able to live up to all of the expectations that is being built around him in the media.

Arsene Wenger has revealed that he is still hopeful that striker Danny Welbeck will return from the sidelines just in time for the North London derby against Tottenham.

This is one of several crucial fixtures for the gunners in the next few weeks.

Danny Welbeck has been a moderate success since his £16 million move from Manchester United in the summer.

The absence of Olivier Giroud has meant that Welbeck has been the default choice for the striker’s role at Arsenal. This has seen him make 11 appearances in the league for the gunners. He recently scored his third league goal of the campaign in the 1-0 win over West Brom. Despite this, he was left out of the starting line-up against Stoke City. Arsenal endured another disappointing visit to the Britannia stadium after suffering a 3-2 defeat.

Danny Welbeck remained as a player of Manchester United for 6 seasons but the Englishman failed on establishing himself as a priority choice player for the Premier League club and was eventually sold to Arsenal on a €16 million deal.

When the transfer was completed managers around Europe started to express just how surprised they were about the transfer as Manchester United sold a promising young player to one of their nearest rivals which is Arsenal.

Real Madrid have managed to emerge as a surprise destination for Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck, who has been heavily linked with a move away from the club in the last few weeks. Despite starting in most of the matches last season, Welbeck is understood to be unhappy at United. He has largely been used widely left, which he fears is not his natural position. The competition for places at Manchester United is intense especially in the striker department due to the presence of Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez says that the rumours linking his club with moves for Manchester United duo Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck are extremely untrue. However, he has admitted that the club already has a number of transfer targets in mind in order to build on for next campaign. This has been a great debut season for Martinez at Everton, as he has been able to take the club close to the fringes of top four. Everton remain one point behind Arsenal with three matches left.

Danny Welbeck has said that Shinji Kagawa was the main reason why Manchester United managed to end their losing streak last weekend.

The Red Devils got better of Swansea City on Saturday to secure their 11th league win of the season. They had lost 3 matches on the trot before that game and had been receiving a lot of criticism, but, they came up with an inspired performance and won by a profound margin to stay in the hunt for the league title.

Since the arrival of David Moyes to Manchester United, complaints were made mostly by the players themselves as they insist on saying that the Scottish coach has implemented a tough training regime.

With the injury that that Dutchman Robin van Persie picked up some weeks ago, this has given the chance for Welbeck to step it up and claim a spot into the starting lineup of David Moyes. The English striker managed to score twice during Manchester United’s 3-0 victory against Aston Villa.

Danny Welbeck has said that he is very happy with the way things went for England in their penultimate World Cup qualifying game against Montenegro which was played at the Wembley Stadium yesterday.

England won that game by a big margin of 4-1 and maintained its first position in the Group H points table. Now, the Three Lions are just one victory away from securing their place in the finals. They will take on Poland at the same venue on Tuesday.
