I can only imagine you weren't around for most of Welbz time here.
Like other academy raised player, he did a decent job in the squad for a few seasons, but eventually need to move them on.
Danny Welbeck

There's no shame in a player not being good enough.
But it needs to be remembered this is Manchester United, striving to win things.
Sorry. I watched almost every game he played with us and how he broke into our first team after loan spell with Sunderland.
How long would you play good academy lads? Until they're 50?
Would you still have Cleverley in midfield? Evans at the back?
Would Wilson be up front etc?
We are talking about a squad. This is a team sports. For so many games this season, I think Welback can offer a lot more and a lot of different factors than Cavani has done.
Happy for him. Hopefully he can stay fit and have a good end to his career.
I disagree. Welbeck has done fairly little since he left United. Apart from score against us at any given opportunity.
When Welbeck was here, he was heavily criticised for being a donkey, not being a good finisher, lacking killer instinct, having loose control. Welbeck's level at his prime was for a Europa League team in my opinion.
I hope he continues to do well though, but he isn't the required squad depth we need. If we had him, we would be looking to upgrade still.
I liked him a lot when he was at United. Happy to see him do well again (however he should stop scoring against us!).
I'm glad he's playing plenty after numerous years of horrible injuries.
That said, it seems like 90% of his goals since 2014 were scored against us.

Yea, 29 goals in 174 matches over 7 years at United. Glad he got away
Happy to see him playing, looked like he was on his way out of the league with injuries.
Rashford is an upgrade on him
His best two games were probably vs Madrid in Fergies last European games

Cleverley was never good enough, unlike Evans who would probably still start instead of Lindelof for us.
In my opinion, Cleverley is a very, very good player whose career has been hampered by the injuries at the wrong time and the manager transition (Moyes). He is very dynamic, intelligent, and unpredictable, also with a goal threat. Unfortunately, he has not played in a right setup after his initial breakout seasons with us and after he left us.
Interesting to see Welbeck fans come out in glory after yesterdays game. I was surprised to even see he played for Brighton. Also fun fact he was the only player on the pitch yesterday who had a PL medal. SAF's genius is just outstanding.
He's a pussy. That's his main issue, he used to have the balls to try to get on the ball, buzz around and make things happen. Then he decided he was going to be Xavi and ended up being Leon Britton.
Welbeck was Bambi on ice.
The only player we let go to soon was Evans.

The one that got away.
A very very excellent goal!

Happy he's staying fit and showing what he can do.

WelBACK - bring the boy home!
What could have been.
The one that got away.
But in another life..
Should never have sold him etc etc
Am certain some posters genuinely believe that.

Super, super Dan. Super Danny Welbeck
Should've been on much earlier.
Welbeck > Lukaku unironically
He's been injured half his career, sad.
Talented guy, but for injuries..
Great header. Always happy when Danny does well.
Zup zup
A good lad who loves United, won a PL while with the club, has been unlucky with injuries. There hasn't been much from the likes of Rashford or Martial to suggest they are any better than him in any respect apart from having more luck with staying fit.
Everyone's favorite
Fantastic goal, absolutely fantastic, glad for him.
I love him! He was part of an era where it was fun to be a Man United supporter. I loved seeing his name in the starting eleven.
Interesting discussion to have. Danny Welbeck at his prime or Rashford.
I think I would take Welbeck.
Rashford is 7 years his junior and has more career goals. They're on different levels, Welbeck's prime is 10 goals a season.
