Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is delighted with the progress of Danny Welbeck at Sunderland.
Despite Welbeck having a slow start in the north-east, four goals in his last three games justifies the decision to loan him out for experience.
"Danny is doing brilliantly," said Ferguson. "He had problems by growing too fast. It meant he wasn't strong enough and missed a lot of football.
"He's started to put on muscle now and looks a big lad. He played well against Chelsea and Everton and has shown what he can do in big games."
