Daniel "Danny" Welbeck (born 26 November 1990 in Manchester, England), is an English association footballer, currently playing for Manchester United. His regular position is as a winger or a striker. He has great potential and is touted to become United's first home-grown striker since Mark Hughes. Due to his height and running style, he has been compared to Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor and Portsmouth striker Nwankwo Kanu.
Welbeck joined Manchester United during the 2005–06 season, making his debut for the club's Under-18 side on 8 April 2006 in a league match against Sunderland. He then came on as a substitute in the next game, before being named as an unused substitute in the team's last two games of the season. The following season, he made a further 28 appearances for the Under-18s, scoring nine goals, including eight appearances and one goal in the FA Youth Cup, in which he helped the team to reach the final.
Welbeck started the 2007–08 season in the Under-18 side, but was quickly promoted to the Reserve team, making a number of substitute appearances. Then, in January 2008, he was called up to the first team for the trip to Saudi Arabia to play Al-Hilal in Sami Al-Jaber's testimonial. Welbeck made his debut in that game on 21 January 2008, coming on as a 65th-minute substitute for Anderson. Despite missing a last minute penalty that would have salvaged a draw for United, he performed reasonably well.
On 26 January 2008, Sir Alex Ferguson revealed that Welbeck will be considered a first team squad member for the rest of the season.
