Welbeck Thrilled With Form

Danny Welbeck admits he's relishing experiencing the sensation of scoring in front of the Stretford End many more times as he makes his mark at United.

In an exclusive interview with Inside United, the England striker admits he's been delighted with his outstanding form this season and enjoying the thrill of hitting the net regularly at Old Trafford. It's also clear that he is fully in tune with the mentality of Sir Alex's side and, being a local lad, appreciates what it takes to wear the red shirt with pride.

"There's no better feeling than scoring in front of the Stretford End. I aim to emulate that feeling so many more times," he admitted.

"It is really important at United that you’ve been brought up with that winning mentality. It’s bred into you to win everything you take part in. That’s Manchester United for you, a never-say-die attitude as you see time and time again. We’re going into
different games but there’s always one aim – to win the game. We don’t go into a game and try to get one point thinking that’s okay.

"Being at United, you always get quite disappointed if you don’t get all three points as you believe you can go into every single game and win it."

Welbeck is a different proposition this term, even compared to the skinny teenager who departed for Sunderland just over a year ago. With an enjoyable season in the Barclays Premier League under his belt with the Black Cats, the 20-year-old is reaping the benefits.

"I think it's just that I've literally grown into a man now," he explained. "I've filled out naturally.

"I have been doing a bit of gym work but it's more based around my legs, not so much my upper body. It's all coming together.

"My physique is getting a lot better than before I went away. Some of the centre-backs are 90 kilograms and I'm only 70-something kilograms. So I need to be strong. I don't have to be massive but I need to be able to handle myself and I feel I'm doing that."
