In 2008, young Danny Welbeck was brought up to the first team of Manchester United from the academy. The player had worn the red shirt since the age of six and earned his debut with Alex Ferguson in 2008. After 142 games with 29 goals and loan spells at Preston and Sunderland, Welbeck was sold to Arsenal in 2014. Eleven years later, a sensational return to Old Trafford is reported.
