Ferdinand: Man Utd decision to sell Welbeck disappointing

QPR veteran Rio Ferdinand has branded Manchester United's sale of Danny Welbeck to Arsenal as "disappointing".

Ferdinand was speaking with MUTV.

"I was surprised [at the move]," he said. "Gutted really. He's a local lad and has come through from the under 8s. For him to leave was a little bit disappointing. I don't think we've seen the best of Danny. He's still got a lot more in him.

"I hope the Arsenal manager gives him the chance to be that responsible front man he wants to be. I'm sure you'll see him flourish."
