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

The striker, 21, has 12 goals and his partnership with 33-goal Wayne Rooney is being compared to Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole from the Treble season of 1998-99.

Ferguson said: "With Danny being fit again and playing consistently, he's developed.

"I think last week we saw something special. I know there was a lot of reference to the Yorke and Cole thing and I think there are similarities to that.

"I thought Welbeck's movement was fantastic last week. He did really well. Attacking-wise we were terrific in the second half.

"Wayne is 26 now and Danny is 21. I would think over the next few years it can only get better. I hope so."
