PICTURE: Welbeck At Preston

Danny Welbeck at Preston

“People will always talk about the link between the Gaffer and his son, but I have just come here to play my football and I am hoping to give 100 per cent for Preston North End,” said Welbeck. “I have been looking at the history of the Club and Manchester United and Preston North End link well together and I am looking forward to playing for the club. I am looking forward to playing up front as a striker, because back at United I was out on the wings a lot and that is not my preferred position; playing as a striker at Preston is going to improve me and off the pitch as a person it will develop me. I’m a player that wants to score goals and wants to play the game in the right way. I have been at United since I was nine, so it is a bit different coming away, but it only going to make me stronger and a better player and I am looking forward to it.”

  8. Gee says:

    Bag a shit load Danny lad and show us what we can look forward to when you come back!!

  9. Macheda IS GOD says:

    Why won’t we take cleverly back?? :(

  10. Welbz19 says:

    Good luck Danny! Great comments got his head screwed on! Seriously nothing better than a local lad coming through hope this is the making of him!

  11. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    i think we were a good game against burnley and a great game against hull from seeing nani in that pic

  12. macha says:

    fantastic attitude, wish him the best of luck there and to come back into the squad ready to score lots of goals.

  13. DEVILisRED says:

    that’s darren in the pics isnt it? haha, still remember watching him making quite a few subs appearance during fergie earlier days. not much of a player. got shipped out by his dad eventually. hope he take good care of danny boy & gives him plently of football. good luck danny!

  14. Delboy says:

    I think this is solid for Danny and for little Fergie. Love the loan system, wish they would do it in other american sports too.

  15. SteniS says:

    Hope he does well and keeps developing. Good luck Danny!

  16. Sean. says:

    Could he come back any worse a player?

  17. edwin says:

    Good luck Danny!!!

  18. Red Dave says:

    I think Danny could become a fantastic player when he fills out and muscles up more and develops a greater positional sense and knowledge of when to pass the ball. Danny can do amazing things with a ball and bewilder opposition players. Above all, he’s a Red from Manchester who wants to do well for United. Good luck Danny.

    Macheda is GOD — Whats the deal with Cleverly? I thought he was just out on Loan at Watford and will be coming back to us this summer. From what I have seen of him he looks quality.

    Not to be so harsh on Gibson, I would be more than happy to see Gibson sold on and Tom to come in and take his place, and I would like to even see him pushing for a regular position. But thats just me

  20. Bebeto says:

    Darren’s a good manager. Peterborough were probably quite hasty in so readily dismissing a manager who’d guided them to two straight promotions. He didn’t get a fair shot at consolidating their place in the division.

    Also, unlike Rossi, we know he’ll be getting playing time. Danny should be able to learn a good bit.

  21. bchilds says:

    I don’t think this’ll be the last we see of him, a lot of players go out on loan and never return but I do believe that Danny will get game time and return a better player and push for more starts next season.

  22. Gotta hate tiny tears says:

    bchilds
    this is the end of danny
    you name me one winger that ever went on loan to PNE from Manchester United and ended up doing anything in football……………oh wait

  23. Johnny_Avi_Junglist says:

    championship top scorer and will get PNE promoted

  24. bchilds says:

    GHTT

    David someone I seem to remember, I may be wrong!

  25. King Eric says:

    Drew and Macheda – Alright lads. Cleverley’s loan period was extended till the end of the season. I think his United contract runs out then. Can’t wait to see him in a United shirt all being well.

  26. Strik3rr says:

    make the most of it danny, ill be glad to see you come back as an improved player (not just striker)

  27. Fred says:

    Looks like Dan is rockin’ the hi-top fade. All the best at Preston and hope you come back an even better player.

  28. theboogeyman says:

    It’s gonna be a big change for Danny. From the best facilities in the word to a Championship teams’ place.

  29. cantona7 says:

    to be honest, this news saddens me.. it makes me sad to see any of our youth going, but a youth of Danny’s calibre makes me even more sad..

  30. manchuchu says:

    Think of it as us being able to give him the playing time he deserves that we cant give him over here right now.

    It’s only a good thing.

    And as if Darren is going to dare sell him to anyone that Papa Bear doesn’t approve of

  31. jespermoses says:

    yeah good luck to him.he has shown glimpses of class and I’m sure he’ll come back a better player.

  32. King Eric says:

    I see that cockney wideboy Barry Fry reckons Fergie has shafted Peterboro. Reckons that he wanted Wellbeck on loan some time ago but Fergie refused and he is now getting his own back for his son’s sacking. Grow up you fat fuck.

  33. roadkill4u says:

    good morning all.

    Loan moves, if done in the interest of both sides, should be a positive thing. It is when a player goes on loan and either doesn’t put in his full effort or the other team decides that they want to play one of their own that things get sour (see Rossi). For Danny’s part, he is going in with the right attitude and I suspect that PNE is going to give him his time or Mrs. Fergie will be having a go at Darren at Saturday dinner.

    He will come back a better player with some more meat on his bones and fill in nicely.

    Now, how is Frederico progressing? Are they holding him closer to the chest for some reason?

  34. soccerguy says:

    Good luck to you Danny. Hope he will become another great player.

    Im also wondering about Macheda progressing. Anybody know?
