Man Utd boss Ferguson hails Welbeck attitude towards Van Persie arrival

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with the attitude of Danny Welbeck.

Welbeck has already welcomed Robin van Persie's arrival and while the Manchester-born youngster may not feature in every game this season, he's certain to benefit in the long term by working alongside such a varied array of forwards.

Sir Alex said: "I saw his interview and it was very refreshing. He started talking about scoring more goals - I hope he's right!

"At 21 he's a young boy. He's still growing and has niggles, but he's going to be a big boy. He won't play every week but when he's 23 or 24 he'll be a fantastic player."
