Danny Welbeck, a lifelong Manchester United fan, has revealed how much he looked up to the likes of Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and David Beckham, and is made up he gets to play alongside his heroes.
“I grew up idolising the class of 1992,” he told GQ magazine. “The guys I came through the ranks with took great inspiration from them. To suddenly be there sharing a pitch and a dressing room with some of them is incredible.”
Following in footsteps of Beckham, Welbeck was sent out on loan to Preston, although only played a few games after picking up an injury, before joining Sunderland the following season. He didn’t see the decision to loan him out as a negative one though and was happy to get some first team football.
“I took it as a positive,” he said. “If you go away feeling down, you won’t do well so I got on with it and felt I did well. Last season was great for me. I got loads of Premier League experience and it felt good. I had never been away from Mum and Dad, and there I was miles away from home, in a new city. I had to fend for myself: I learnt to cook and clean. I guess you could say I grew up. My cooking wasn’t that good at first but soon it got OK. Having said that I am back home now and it’s back to Mum’s cooking!”

Haha, but seriously it looks like somebody put a piece of pound cake on his head!
Good lad, stick wth your mother, she’ll keep him grounded and iron out any negatives changes that are visible with becoming a footballer.
With SAF, His dad and Mum beside him, fans behind him and a great career ahead of him, Danny Welbeck is in the best position he could have dreamed of.
The boy will become a great, he just has to look to Paul Scholes for that, Scholesy has lead a picture perfect life career wise and personally.
This Club is one of a kind along with my local strip club
what do you guys mean? His haircut is outdated, but so what?! Suits him well. And i don’t think he’d look better with other styles.
Lies!!!! seriously still miles away from Barca & Real quality, stop lying SAF
Wtf? Welbeck’s hair is THA SHIT!
Old-skool early-90s stackfro. Reppin that Fresh Prince look. What’s not to like?!
Proper lad, lots of man utd blood runs through his veins. Neva say die attitude ingrained in his heart. To good times, cheers.
@Mutusamy
What on earth are you on about?
Mutusamy- Have you watched Barca and Madrid lately , United would walk all over them. Barca have lost a few players and look poor.
The obsession with footballers haircuts by some on here is laughable. Think some of the fellas on here hiding in a closet. He’s a footballer not a model.
Well done jasmine you put them right in their place.
I bet those of you obsessing over his barnet sit there thinking of your best United XI all based on haircuts!!!
Pathetic.
Seriously Barcelona….Real Madrid Pfffftt…..easy.
Its Stoke & Norwich that frighten me. I’d like to see Messi them on or Ronaldo…..oh wait
But seriously we beat Barcelona when it mattered. De Gea, Anderson,Clevs + Owen killed them.
I would like it if De Gea did the Justin Bieber hair do.
Smalling Grew back his afro.
Rio shaved his head completely bald….he looked like a beast & was Stam No.2.
Rafael needs to comb his hair more, or do a parting and comb-over like 007.
Wayne Rooney should do the Georgie Best hairstly.
Berba is perfect loving the new hair, same with Nani, ando & Valencia.
Giggs had lovely curls, I wonder if he still has that chest of 97.
Clevs has superb hair, reminds me of a young Beckham.
Welbecks hair is great fuck off, he looks dashing.
We can easily beat Ajax on thursday they have terrible hairdressers !
@ Clint
To add thats why I feel Michael Owen is very important with his short back and sides. His haircut will guarantee us number 20. Can’t play Rooney his hair isn’t real.
Best United 11 based on haircuts… has to be a place in that for Alan Brazil!!!
What is it with the WANNABE Gok-wans on here that always judge which haircut is better. People need to go work with the ann-summers by arranging over-used Bras for them or something. We watch these players because of their talents, not how stylish their hair is. What is this? the milan catwalk?.
Moving on, welbeck has come on leaps and bounds. Has improved massively and seems on a wavelength with the other regular first team players.
He gets ahead of the likes of berbatov because of his dynamism, mobility, determination and all round game which suits the way united play. Technically, he’s of a very good level and can improve further, he has a huge work-rate and a great attitude/personality which is a bonus. I think other strikers at the club will find it difficult to get a place ahead of a guy like welbeck who is prepared to keep working hard at his game and not accepting a limit.
Samuel @ 15:13: “He gets ahead of the likes of berbatov because of his dynamism, mobility, determination and all round game which suits the way united play.”
Those same Welbeck-qualities are ALSO keeping Chicharito on the bench.
Same here Danny.
Denton – True. I’ve always said hernandez is a superb finisher but these days, that simply isn’t enough to be a Regulat starter. He needs to add different arrows to his bow and he’ll be pushing harder to start matches. I’m just glad united have four strikers of different qualities, that’s important.
we hav the best strikers in the prem
berba is best technically with his effortless touches
chico is a top poacher, guarantees goals
welbeck is a hungry utd boy, potential 2 be worldclass, all round great
rooney is decent
I still think Ryan has the best chest hair, but i wish he’d style it.
Perhaps a matt finish? It would make him look rugged.
Also, it would match the carpet burns on his knees.
Guys, its ok to have the hots for Giggsy. But its absolutely not ok to discuss chest hair, or any other hair for any other guy!
PS: No disrespect intended for my gay friends
That sponge has gotta slow him down. Need a streamlined Anderson approach to the hair department.
Will add at least 5mph I reckon….
@ samuel 15.13 – That explains why Welbeck gets in the team then. Its based on what he brings footballing wise and not his hair.
Who would have thought it?
Danny gets United like United get Danny. Been in the every level of youth development that we have and has training videos with everyone from Ruud to Keano. You never know if one of these kids will make it, but I’ll tell you what, when they do they are worth their weight in gold. Stay healthy Danny lad, you are and will make us all proud.
NRD – yeah who would have thought it. I think people need get dolls to fiddle hair with not football players lol.
I thinly his hair looks cool a bit like kid from kid n play..
Thanks Dan.
Give him 2 more years he will look like Kid Play. An 8 inch fade.
Breaking News: FA suspends Rooney 3 matches for performance enhancing hair transplant…
NRD and Samuel. Spot fucking on. Who gives a fuck about his hairdo? Fuck sake.
Mutsomy or whatever your name is. Tell me pal what the fuck have Madrid achieved the last five years to warrant all this United are behind them bollocks? One league and a two bob cup. United have won a european cup, been in two finals and were one point off five straight league titles which is much harder to win than fucking la liga. Throw in a couple of league cups and club world cups too. But oh no all of a sudden madrid are a fuckibg bench mark. What have they done to deserve that? Fuck all. Its all about the long game pal and mark my words. United and Fergie won’t be going anywhere till this new team completes it objective. Short sighted mate. Just following what the fucking media say. Madrid have done fuck all and when play Barca come up very short just like we did. But even that is changing.
Calm down lads! Keep your hair on! Secret Gaga fans on here? Hairy today, gone tomorrow.
@ Eric European cup was won when Ronaldo was with us, now he’s in Real. If we were in the same league I am pretty sure we would end up same as Real due to Barca

mutusamy
what the fuck, barça? i mean sure they’re good but even i could shit on them now. real are decent.
ricky
hahahahah mate “rooney is decent” after the praise for the rest of the strikers that’s amazing
mutusamy – Yes and we got beat with Ronnie in side in Rome. Still reached another final WITHOUT him though didnt we and another league title.
Mutisamy – End up same as Real? What TEN points clear? That would do me. The Spanish league is a fucking joke pal and either one of those teams wins it anyway.
