Both Rashford and Martial have had higher peaks than anything Welbeck has ever had. It's just that they have both been in shit form for a while.

So glad he left Arsenal. Was horrible feeling conflicted when he scored. One of our players I’ve always been most fond of so it’s an absolute joy when he gets a goal. What a fecking header too.

Obviously welbeck should have done better in front of goal at times, but so many people ignore the rest of the game.
His technical ability, linkup play, athletic ability, intelligence, were all very good. He made his team play better, he added so much to the general play.
This is the main thing we lack, and we keep getting players who have weaknesses in these areas and not a strength.

Hold up. He had his chance here, he had multiple chances. It did not work out for him. He is a striker and he is supposed to score goals - a lot of them. He didn't do that for neither us nor Arsenal. Decent player, always promising but never fulfilled full potential for whatever reason.
City are doing well without one. Having a player judged simply on goals feels so backward.
Exactly right.
I grew up in the same area as Welbeck so had a fair few family friends in common.
Even met his dad Victor and mum Philomena a few times. Really nice family. Wish he'd made it at United.

Remember his debut goal? Still hasn’t scored a better one. Hell of a goal.
It is an outlier case and it is not like City is not looking for a striker.
Yeah that’s fair, he did bring other things to the team, shame his weakness was in front of goal.
What about Liverpool with firmino? I don't think he's been close to their top scorer, praised for hit linkup play.
I don't remember peps Barcelona's forward were judged mainly for their individual goals.
He smashed it.
True, just wish he wasn't injured so often, ruined his career.
Van Gaal was an idiot to sell him. His pressing from the front was so damn good, we looked far better as a team when he started because of that. But Van Gaal didn’t seem to appreciate that at all. He was never a prolific goal scorer but he fit Van Gaal’s system very well.
Hes not a league winning forward, I know 8 yrs without winning one, but as a club as utd are, ye think we should be challenging, dont think he was that level,
His weakness was injuries
People crying about Danny freaking Welbeck - a player who got sold by Arsenal aswell and then there's threads absolutely giving up on Rashford! Shouting at the guy when he hasn't even played a match
Danny Welbeck
Always had a soft spot for Welbeck but he left at the right time for everyone.
It's a shame for him about the injuries while at Arsenal, because he is a useful player. Yes he has a moment in him and isn't the most composed in the penalty area but his overall play is (or was) very good.

The one that got away.
Thank the Lord. Rashford has scored more goals than he has his entire career
Welbz is that guy! 
What minute will he get his customary goal against us?
84th
89th
Bruno will never score again.
Come on Welbz, just need a phantom touch from Shaw and you can fall over for a penalty 30 seconds later like you did with Robertson and got a 1-1 draw.
Almost did this the fecker
Seen him score that header twice this season too... Welbz is loyal to the core
Delighted he missed that chance. Besides the stupidly obvious fact of we would have dropped points, it would have been even more annoying for him to score his entire goal tally for the season against us again.
Same amount of goals as Rashford now in fewer minutes.
You relentlessly bump this thread anytime he scores. OBSESSED.
Haha. I thought I was bad.
Too late to sign him back?
Think ten Hag would love him.
You just know he scored one of his usual six goals a season whenever this thread gets bumped
Who cares?
Van Gaal literally sold ever useful player we had and replaced them with shite. People talk about Moyes, but Van Gaal was where our team began it's proper decline.
The hilarious thing about the bump is that, rashford is shambolic this season, so out of form that plenty of fans want him sold.
Whereas welbeck is having statistically one of the best seasons of his career.
So, not exactly sure what it proves basically he's still just good enough to sell, eh?

4 goals with no assists what were his worse seasons like?
Loved me a.bit of Welbz back in the day, could never get my head around why van Gaal would take 3 players who thrived in quick one touch interplay situations like Cleverly, Welbeck and Nani and just hoy them straight out while we were dying for some final third creativity.
