Danny Welbeck

Welbeck was another of Ferguson’s successful signings. He joined United in 2008 and played for them for 6 seasons. He appeared in 142 matches and scored 29 goals for them. Welbeck can play as the centre-forward or the left-winger and is known for his strength and opportunism inside the penalty box.

However, he struggled to retain a regular place in the starting line-up for United owing to presence of players like Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs and Robin Van Persie. Still, he managed to win league titles and FA Cups with them.

Arsenal signed Welbeck in 2014 and he still remains one of their players. He has been playing in a more defensive role in the recent past and played as a left-back too. Welbeck is still not a regular starter for the Gunners. However, he has scored 32 goals in 126 matches for them and still has a few years of football left in him at the top level.
