• Striker: 'Playing for United is all I ever wanted to do'
by Jamie Jackson 9 months ago

Danny Welbeck has signed a new four-year deal at Manchester United, providing a boost to the striker following the arrival of Robin van Persie who threatens his starting place.

Sir Alex Ferguson said: "Danny has been with the club since he was eight years old and has made fantastic progress in the last couple of years – first out on loan and last year as a regular in the first team.

"He has become an important player at international level as well, as the maturity of his performances at the European Championships showed. This year is another important one for him. He has a bright future ahead of him."

Welbeck, who started United's 1-0 defeat at Everton on Monday, said: "Playing for United is all I've ever wanted to do – it's the club I've supported all my life. I can't wait for the challenge of the new season to play my part in helping the team compete for trophies.

"I'm learning all the time from the best manager in the game and I'm keen for that to continue alongside the world-class players in the squad."
