Arsenal striker Welbeck stands by decision to quit Man Utd

Former Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck has no regrets over his move to Arsenal. Welbeck, likely to play wide if he is picked to start against United on Monday, is still only 24 and believes there is plenty of room and time for improvement at Arsenal.

Welbeck said: "I think it's gone okay. I wish to do a lot more, definitely will do and it's something I want to build on and keep progressing.

"But I feel like I've improved. It's different going from one team to another, settling in and once you get past that stage you want to keep pushing on and get a second to none understanding with team mates on the pitch. Once you build that relationship on the pitch, things will only get better.

"There's so many good players at Arsenal. Obviously training every single day, you get to know them better. You get to know what they like to do, what side they like to go on, where to play passes through and so on.

"I play football, I can play across the front three positions, depending on who is available, what formation, coming up against different opponents. The manager is going to select who he thinks is best for the game.

"The last few weeks we've not spoken about different positions. Once I get out onto the pitch I will just give it 100 per cent."
