Welbeck didn’t feature in the weekend win over Aston Villa, which makes you think that he will have a huge part to play here.
With United’s squad having lacked pace this season, Welbeck’s role will be made even more crucial on Tuesday as the Red Devils look to counter the Bayern passing machine. Moyes will surely line up with the England forward on the left-hand side as he looks to give Buttner the necessary cover against Robben and Phillip Lahm.
Welbeck combines work ethic and endeavour off the ball with pace and directness on it, meaning he will be a threat to Bayern’s defence should he get a head of steam. The Longsight-born 23-year-old has won 25 fouls for his team this season, has scored nine times and has created 11 chances.
