Manchester United starlet Danny Welbeck has revealed he's a Manchester City REJECT!

Welbeck is now regarded among England's brightest young talents.

But he recalled to the Guardian: "I was trialling with City at the age of eight.

"But just before Christmas they told my dad: 'He's not good enough.' My dad didn't want to tell me because it was Christmas, so I was oblivious to the situation because dad just said there was going to be a break.

"I went for a tournament a week later, back with my local side, and that's where United saw me and I've never looked back."
