Danny Welbeck is a well-known footballer, now playing in the Arsenal from London and the national team of his country. Considering the manner of the game and physique, it is often compared with other previously popular “gunners” players - Nwanquo Canu and Emmanuel Adebayor. More details about this young talent will be discussed later.
First football steps
The footballer's parents emigrated to the English city of Manchester from Ghana (Africa). It was here on November 26, 1990 that Danny was born. From childhood, the boy became interested in football, constantly chasing a ball with peers on the street. As a result, already at the age of six, he was noticed by employees of the scout service Manchester United, whose academy Danny Welbeck enrolled in. His biography as a football player started from that moment. In April 2006, the guy first played in the “youth team”. The following year, he took part in 28 fights, in which he managed to distinguish himself with nine goals scored. Being the youngest performer, the young man became one of the leaders of the team.
First contract
The year 2007 was a real breakthrough for the player. Then, in the month of July, with Manchester United, he also signed an internship debut contract with Welbeck. At first, Danny was in the youth squad, but very soon he was transferred to the reserve by the coaches. Here he mainly went for a replacement. In early 2008, along with the “base”, the football player went to Saudi Arabia to participate in a friendly meeting. After returning from there, in January 2008, mentor Alex Ferguson promised the guy to include him in the application for next season. Moreover, Danny even got a permanent game number. On February 9, before a derby against the Manchester City club, the team’s coach spoke of a football player as a potential participant in that match and did not rule out his appearance in the first team. However, the player did not even get into the application then.
"Manchester United"
In September 2008, for the Manchester United in a cup match against the Middlesbrough club, Welbeck played his first match. Danny came out in the starting lineup, but failed to score a goal. However, his team won with a score of 3: 1 and went further. In the next round, he replaced the “KPR” in the 72nd minute of the meeting and earned a penalty, which was realized by Carlos Tevez. This goal was victorious. For the first time at the enemy’s goal for Manchester United, he “signed” in the game of national championship. “Red Devils” won a landslide victory over the “Stoke City” club with a score of 5: 0. The football player himself in the second half came on as a substitute and sent the ball into the net from a distance of 30 meters. In December 2009, Danny Welbeck signed a full agreement with the club. Later, in 2012, by mutual agreement, it was extended until 2016.
"Arsenal"
After Alex Ferguson left the post of manager of Manchester, the career of a football player in this club did not work out. The situation was aggravated with the arrival of Louis van Gaal, with whom the player was never able to establish relations. As a result, the athlete moved for £ 16 million to London's Arsenal in September 2014. Two weeks later, he played in his T-shirt “Gunners” his debut match. On September 20, the player scored the first goal for the new team. The match against the Turkish Galatasaray during the group stage of the Champions Cup, in which he designed his first hat-trick in his career, was very successful for him. Now Danny Welbeck in the “Arsenal” performs at number 23. His mentor Arsene Wenger has very high hopes for the young talent and intends to continue to provide him with constant playing practice, which he repeatedly stated in an interview.
England team
At the age of fourteen, the guy first appeared in the youth team of England. It was a duel against Wales. When he was seventeen years old, he was invited to the U-17 team. One of his main achievements here was a goal against Serbia in the qualification, thanks to which the British entered the European Championship, where they won silver medals. Danny Welbeck became a key performer of his team at the World Youth Championships in South Korea, where he scored two goals.
For the national team of the country, the football player played for the first time on March 29, 2011 in a duel against Ghana. The player scored the debut goal in her T-shirt in his fifth match (against Belgium). During the 2012 European Championship, Danny Welbeck scored a phenomenal beauty for the Swedes who scored the ball, which later became victorious and helped the team leave the group in the next round.
