Welbeck: Giggs My Role Model Since Arsenal Goal

Phil Jones managed to make us all feel rather old this week when revealing he was still in primary school during the 2002 World Cup. Danny Welbeck has helped rubbed it in further by letting on just how young he was when Ryan Giggs scored that incredible goal against Arsenal in the FA Cup semi-final in 1999. Our young striker claims that Giggs has been his role mode since he was a lad and has revealed how exciting it has been to train with and play alongside him.

“My role model has been Ryan Giggs ever since I was a young kid,” he said. “I love the way he plays. I was eight when he scored that goal against Arsenal. I just thought ‘Wow! I want to be Ryan Giggs.’ When I first trained with him, I was in disbelief. Then I got the chance to play with him. There’s nothing better than playing alongside your role models. Ryan Giggs has that great desire. He still wants to win every single training match. Even if it’s possession, he wants his team to have the ball most. To see that is really encouraging for the young players to know how much it still means to them. Every United player just wants to get better and better. Wazza has a great desire. It’s infectious. I see him giving his all and it makes me want to give my all as well. He’s a wonderful talent. I’m training and playing with world-class players.”

    He is a legend!!! Sir Ryan Gigs!!!

  2. Red Van Nistelrooy says:

    that was the goal where my girl left me!! wanted to go to manchester and have a shot at Giggsy!! what was her name again? yeah Imogen something!! ;)

  3. Collyhurst Red says:

    Talking of role models………

    ……. and I know it’s only The Sun……… but……

    John Terry and Luis Suarez will wear anti-racism T-shirts before Sunday’s Premier League game between Chelsea and Liverpool at Stamford Bridge.

    You couldn’t make it up!

  4. CedarsDevil says:

    Was Welbeck even born when Giggs scored ‘that’ goal? :-)

    Talking of role models………

    Do you seriously think anti-racism mean a thing to Terry the cunt and Suarez the barbarian???? The 2 are the CUNT of the highest order….

  6. Collyhurst Red says:

    @covyder

    I think it would have been better if they had refused to wear them, hypocrites!

    I agree with your analysis of their character as well!

  7. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    Giggs is one of those few people who can continue playing till they’re 40 or even longer. Maldini is another name that comes to mind. They take perfect care of themselves and play for the love of the game rather than the money. Absolute top-quality professionals and role-models for younger people growing up.

  8. WillieRedNut says:

    Cedars – That’s depressing mate. I don’t think he’ll get it, though. ;) I hope not, anyway!

  9. CedarsDevil says:

    Balaji

    Hello my good friend….. Teddy Sheringham is another name that springs to mind

  10. CedarsDevil says:

    Willie – For your sake I hope not too….. White line sniffing cunt

  11. CedarsDevil says:

    FUCK I got Big Nose in the studio for the Le Arse game, TV on mute. Hope by the time we kick off he would have pissed off

  12. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    @Cedars, Hello buddy, how are you and hope your health is fine.

    Yeah, Sheringham is definitely one of those players. Like I said, there are too many to mention but they’re all perfect role-models for any youngster looking to make it big.

    Thank God the International break is over. It was depressing for two weeks without any United match to look forward to. In fact, this whole season has felt like that to me. Any time it looks like we’re building momentum and can go on a huge winning streak, this idiotic break comes in. With all that gone, we have a clean run in till December and we must take close to maximum now.

  13. CedarsDevil says:

    Balaji

    Getting better my good friend, thanks for asking…… These International breaks depress the hell out of me too, two wins by Lebanon sort of cheered me up as the buggers made history, although I do not know any of the players! hahaha

    Its getting now to that time of year when matches come thick and fast, always loved the Christmas period growing up, not for the gifts mind you but for the mere fact that I would see United in action very frequently !

  14. Zelh says:

    Finally Manchester United is back into action!
    Hate those international breaks.

  15. CedarsDevil says:

    Just about to watch my new found love in action….. Come on RVP, excite me! hahahahaha

  16. WillieRedNut says:

    Tough game for us today. Heard a stat, that we haven’t won at Swansea in 8 attempts? Their keeper is meant to be good. We might have to be patient, for the first goal. Off to watch Arsenal lose at Norwich! Laters! :)

  17. CedarsDevil says:

    Our stats v Swansea in all competitions are played 16, won 6 drew 4 and lost 6….

    United have never won a competitive match at Swansea

  18. rohan19 says:

    @cedars : the last time we played there was in 82 thats 2 decades back…
    i like the way they play though.. saw their game against liverpool.

  19. rohan19 says:

    is anyone bold enough to predict today’s lineup???
    i say
    DDG
    rafael ferdi vidic evra
    carrick jones
    nani rooney young
    hernandez

  20. CedarsDevil says:

    Rohan

    Yep it was 1982, nil nil it was…. Not from my memory, that’s fucked up… I had to look it up! hahaha

  21. CedarsDevil says:

    Rohan

    Is Rafael fit? Damn I have missed the kid

  22. James21 says:

    Lee Dixon once said while watching that Goal on SSN, ‘I was Unlucky, He tackled me Twice’
    made me chuckle more cos Dixen is a Blue Shite Fan.

    Saw Danny Welbecks screemer debut Goal against Stoke thought then he looked special, to actually hit a ball like that was amazing but more than that was having the confidence at such a young age to do that on debut after just coming on as sub. Did him the world of good going out on loan and learning his trade at Sunderland. SAF has alot of faith in him and he’s keeping last seasons top scorer in Berba out. Rooney Him and Chicharito are our Future strikeforce. Well done Danny.

  23. rohan19 says:

    well i hope you are well..
    so to say i wasn’t even born then..
    and as it goes even i was 9 years old when giggs scored THAT goal.. and blissfully living in stretford.

  24. rohan19 says:

    well i hope you are well..
    so to say i wasn’t even born then..
    and as it goes even i was 9 years old when giggs scored THAT goal..
    and blissfully living in stretford.

    hope today’s is a cracking game
    and hoping newcastle get something against shitty

  25. CedarsDevil says:

    Just saw the off line clearance of the century at Norwich…..

    Rohan – I was only taking the piss buddy!

    James21 – Afternoon my good friend

  26. CedarsDevil says:

    Rohan – Might of misread your post buddy. are you Welbeck? hahahaha

  27. rohan19 says:

    yeah yeah… he played in the reserves game.. and came through quite nicely..
    so i hope fergie plays him.. .

  28. rohan19 says:

    how i wish i was welbeck…
    to be associated in some way with our great club is a great honor…

  29. James21 says:

    Hi cedars hope you are well. Just popped on to see if there were some new threads.
    See you later just got to nip out.
    Come on Reds

  30. rohan19 says:

    @ cedars : i know you were…

  31. MG says:

    RVP Scores!

    Cue Cedars gushing!

    :lol:

  32. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    I sort of blushed actually! :-)

  33. MG says:

    Sepp Blatter will be wearing the following shirt made by MG on behalf of notable charities:

    Women are the mothers of nature

    Slavery is abhorrent

    Qatar loves Homosexuality

    Black is beautiful

    :lol:

  34. MG says:

    Cedars

    :lol:

    Only you Cedars only you ;)

  35. Balaji Sivaraman says:

    We need to find Cedars a real man like Keano or Robbo. :lol:

  36. MG says:

    Balaji

    Nah let Cedars have his RVP crush :lol:

  37. CedarsDevil says:

    MG & Balaji – Cheers for making me chuckle fellas….

    Seriously though RVP’s record over the past 12 months is nothing short of astronomical……

    Come home to United son, you know it makes sense ….. Fergie sign him up!

  38. King Eric says:

    Collyhurst Red – Is that a piss take mate? Like you say, you couldn’t make it up pal.

  39. King Eric says:

    Cedars – Hello mate. Yeah Rafael played the full 90 minutes on thursday night.

  40. CedarsDevil says:

    King Eric

    Was no piss it pal, it was all over the papers this morning! Hope the Mrs is coping well buddy, as I posted before, keep up with them foot massages!

  41. CedarsDevil says:

    Norwich do play attractive football and I have mentioned my admiration for Paul Lambert enough times here…. Would love him at OT in some sort of a capacity

  42. CedarsDevil says:

    Fuck me what a player RVP is and what a finish…. Laugh at me all you want but for me currently its

    RVP > Messi

  43. Zelh says:

    what will arsenal do, when injury prone van Persie is out?

  44. CedarsDevil says:

    Zelh

    Do not give a flying fuck what Le Arse do without him to be honest….. But we all have to stand up and admire a genius on the pitch…. Guy is class

  45. prasan_UTDfan4life says:

    @ Zelh

    They’ll probably go in Fernando “I always miss sitters” Torres mode! :P

    @ Cedars

    How are you buddy? Surely, you won’t need the drugs for tonight as RVP has scored twice to keep you floating! :D

  46. CedarsDevil says:

    Hi Prasan

    He does keep me floating, bloody love the guy!

  47. xol says:

    Cedars, a question for you. If Cantona were to win trophies in NY, would you budge on your Ole as manager thing?

  48. xol says:

    haha I see my fantasy football captain for the day is being discussed. Like the commentator said – one blasted shot, one chip, a header coming up. Hope Danny W recovers quick, or is the boss going to surprise us and play him today?

  49. mufcmyreligion says:

    @ ALL OF YOU!!

    What have you lot said to “Read it and weep?” I was enjoying his bullshit lol!! Always reminds me when non united fans come on here that we trully are the biggest TEAM in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    COME BACK YOU CUNT HAHAHAAA

  50. CedarsDevil says:

    xol

    Never! hahahaha

  51. Red Neville says:

    Are we confident today people?

    Will our players come back from the break different animals?

    Will Newcastle’s bubble go supernova?

  52. dannysoya says:

    IN response to predicting today’s lineup. As long as rooney plays upfront, Phil Jones plays in defence and carrick plays in midfield. I am fine with whoever Sir Alex puts out.

  53. Moses says:

    City taking another major step towards the title and we will not beat Swansea tonight so we will be 8 or 7 points behind. It is all over then.

  54. WillieRedNut says:

    Ryan Taylor you wanker!

  55. Moses says:

    Balotelli is the new Cantona. Every champion side have a player like that and he is the reason City are crusing towards their first PL title. I predict that they will secure the title very early come spring and maybe set a new record in early titles won.

  56. Clint-iamyourpapii says:

    hate to say it but Mario Barryterry is looking impressive….cantona-esque without the ability,intelligence & Class.

    Yohan Cabaye I want YOU !

  57. Moses says:

    Early in April at Easter is when City will secure the title. Easter at Eastlands will be something else.

  58. WillieRedNut says:

    Cabaye has went bye bye! Ba missed 2 sitters before city scored. We need a win at Swansea.

  59. Moses says:

    We cannot beat City or Barca and are now playing third fiddle and the world is laughing. I will moan and moan all season long.

  60. Moses says:

    This is why City will win:

    Too few good sides that they have to play. Already beaten us at OT and what is left now are away games at Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. For the league to be exciting this season they have to lose those 3 games.

  61. Costas says:

    City are already champions. Tomorrow Fergie should go to the Wastelands, hand over the trophy and give Balotelli a blow job.

  62. Moses says:

    At last you are talking sense there Costas and yes he should. United need a few years now on the sidelines to try and build something better without those bastard owners we now have. We need arab owners and big class signings and a commercial department that start selling classy products and nor what they sell now made by kids in a thai sweatshops.
    Stitching on United merchandise clothes is shite and so is the design. We need an italian gay designer to make our clothes and make us look good on and off the pitch. Let the northern rags burn and let us become as stylish as danny dyer on the piss.

  63. MrKirie says:

    Whats with all the doom and gloom? I still think City will struggle to keep this up all through the season, and they’ll slip up at some point! Let’s not hand them the trophy just yet guys

  64. Moses says:

    Gonna watch MUTV online for free but not gonna tell you lot what the addy is. It is there and working fine cause some lads from India have put up all the channels one needs online and when they go down and you email them they correct the problem immediately.

  65. Moses says:

    I prefer watching the south coast derby between southampton and brighton and saints just took the lead. Brighton will become the new Blackburn and win the PL within 10 years.

  66. Moses says:

    When did Newcastle ever help us out?

    They are the worst ever side in history when it comes to playing top sides and may they now slowly fall back down the table where they belong.

  67. James21 says:

    Got an irritating itch.

  68. Moses says:

    Talking about racism, when Remi Moses played for us you lot shouted abuse and never wore his name on your shirt. Double standards my friends.

  69. WillieRedNut says:

    Stoke have blew up. We dropped the ball there.

  70. King Eric says:

    Fuck off Moses you cunt. Do one. Why the fuck are you frequenting a United blog? Fucking weirdo.

  71. Moses says:

    City played without pace and without trying and still are cruising against the geordies. Untouchables.

  72. WillieRedNut says:

    Have a day off Moses? Lol.

  73. Moses says:

    We will get beat tonight by the only gay in the village. Free bitter at Canal Street all night long.

  74. King Eric says:

    Moses “When Remi Moses played for “us lot”. Fuck off. You are not a United fan. Go and fucking slash your throat you wind up merchant cunt. No trophies are handed out in November.

  75. dannysoya says:

    Who the fuck is this Moses idiot? If you wanna suck city’s dick their forums are there for you to Join. what the hell.

  76. WillieRedNut says:

    WTF happened at Blackburn? something to do with a corner?

  77. King Eric says:

    Moses – Yes pal. The world is indeed laughing at Englands MOST SUCCESSFUL CLUB. Fuck off and comment on your own sides site whoever that may be. You keep very quiet about who you support don’t you.

  78. Moses says:

    “For us you lot” i wrote please read again

  79. Moses says:

    World ends in May 2012 when City lifts the title.

  80. Moses says:

    or trophy even.

  81. King Eric says:

    Oh my mistake.

    I have a sneaky feeling this cunt is Megleeker .

  82. Costas says:

    Doesn’t matter when we played Stoke willie. It still would have been their cup final.

  83. prasan_UTDfan4life says:

    @ Moses

    Get the fuck out of here you closet blue mercenary supporting cunt…go stick your mouth in that Italian scarf wearing cunt Mancini’s ass and kindly fuck off from here!

  84. Moses says:

    Shocking line up tonight.

  85. dannysoya says:

    Best thing is not to answer him at all. He craves attention. He is looking for the attention. we should stop giving him the attention.

  86. James21 says:

    ignore him. Wind up merchents always get board when no one rises to the bait. He’s obviously just climbed out of the Jim Henson studio Muppet Reject Bin.

  87. Moses says:

    Why are my views not valid I care more than you do sat here with razor to wrists.

  88. Moses says:

    Southampton keep winning at home like they have since we beat them in the cup.

  89. Moses says:

    Hattrick for Ricky Lambert at Souhampton, Fergie Fergie sign him up!

    We need a big strong man up there and he is like Hughes and McClair rolled into one.

  90. King Eric says:

    Moses – Nobody cares for Southampton. Why would we? More importantly nobody cares for you so fuck off.

  91. WillieRedNut says:

    Fuck off Newcastle. Wait to you see the cunts next week?

  92. Moses says:

    3-0 City it is all over

  93. Nafooy says:

    Moses: what’s the line up?

  94. mufcmyreligion says:

    Moses u cunt, how r u? Hows your mom?

  95. Moses says:

    Balotelli is Cantona and Aguero is Messi.

  96. mufcmyreligion says:

    She still trying to get sales outside the Eithiad stadium?

  97. Moses says:

    I fooking hate Shitty me.

  98. Moses says:

    My brother, Ian Curtis, loved City and if they win the title I will think of him and be happy for him. As it goes I love United.

  99. prasan_UTDfan4life says:

    Balotelli is a crazy crackpot mercenary “Why I am always fucked up” cunt, Aguero is an overpaid bitter cunt and Moses is a fucking sheep shagging cunt of the highest order..do fuck off you horrible piece of scum!

  100. mufcmyreligion says:

    @ moses

  104. Moses says:

  105. dannysoya says:

    Manchester United XI v Swansea: De Gea; Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Nani, Carrick, Giggs, Park, Rooney, Hernandez.

  106. Fred says:

    Good team! We’ll wipe the floor with them. 3-0, as I said yesterday. :)

  107. King Eric says:

    Ian Curtis your brother. Yeah course he is. Idiot. Bore off.

  108. CedarsDevil says:

    Moses is a Leeds shagging fan, how many times to I need to repeat it?

  109. Fred says:

    That is a strong, STRONG team. I can’t wait for the game now. 8)

  110. Fred says:

    We’re going 4-4-2, with a very attacking lineup. Watch the Swans park the bus now. :roll:

  111. CedarsDevil says:

    45 minutes to go fellas, after 2 weeks of pure misery!

  112. dannysoya says:

    AWESOME TEAM. Love it.

  113. Moses says:

    Only good thing to come out of Leeds is the band Wedding Present and the singer David Gedge is a massive Man United fan.

  114. Fred says:

    Me too Danny, I LOVE it! 8)

  115. WillieRedNut says:

    Costas – No problem mate. :)

  116. James21 says:

    Larry the lamb is his brother or is that lover.

  117. King Eric says:

    Wedding Present. Yeah not a bad band. Now fuck off.

  118. Moses says:

    Shock horror City let a goal in

  119. King Eric says:

    Oh dear Moses. Your beloved City have conceded. Thought they were untouchable. Have they even kept a clean sheet this season?

  120. CedarsDevil says:

    Only thing in Leeds are sheep shagging, Munich chanting cunts

  121. Moses says:

    I talked to Gedgey last night and I know his girlfriend well.

  122. MG says:

  123. Moses says:

    To prove I am a true United fan and to say sorry about being a bit of a cunt at times tongue-in-cheek here is where you can watch MUTV:

    We are a collective unit here and will fuck you to kingdom come you sheep shagging, Munich chanting cunt

  130. Moses says:

  132. MG says:

    Cedars

    I shall rephrase.

    Of all the United joints, in all the towns, in all the world, he walks into ours.

    :lol:

  133. Costas says:

    @berbatunday

    Maybe that could be one reason pal. I’d still prefer to see Carrick and Fletcher play together though. Seems like a long time since they last did.

  134. Moses says:

    I will obey by your rules and i bow before you all

  135. King Eric says:

    Moses you are a knobhead but quite amusing at the same time. Good result for your lads away at Burnley today. Snodgrass with a brace I believe. Well done. 4th in Champuionship. Must be buzzing fella.

  136. King Eric says:

    Championship.

  137. MG says:

    Obey citys rules here we don’t obey no one

    Friendship is about respect – it isn’t about bowing to no one

    Fuck you

  138. CedarsDevil says:

    Apology NOT accepted, not fuck off and find yourself a nice furry one for a night out

  139. CedarsDevil says:

    MG

    Humphrey Bogart – LEGEND!

  140. NBI Red Onion says:

    I LOVE Welly. I am so happy he made the step up to first team.

    Re. JT – I actually do not think he is racist at all, but he did make a racist comment which was stupid and he needs to be reprimanded for it especially as England captain. However with Suarez his history and where he is from I would not be surprised if he does actually have racist views.

  141. theresonlyonekeano says:

    moses fuck off you cunt.im sure you fucking laugh at the munich tragedy.congrats, you can post a fucking united link.go fuck yourself, balotelli is cantona?i think not.cantona is a fucking legend, balotelli is shite.go spew your fucking bile somewhere else.
