Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck admits there was no way he was going to let this season's chance slip.

Welbeck returned from his loan spell at Sunderland in the summer determined to make it at United.

He told manutd.com: "When the chance came along, I wasn't going to sit back. Pre-season went really well, everyone got a few games under their belt and I just went out there against Barcelona and played my normal game.

"I didn't really think 'this is my chance', I just played my normal game and, thankfully, the manager stuck with me for the first couple of matches of the season. I felt I'd really come into my own when I scored my first goal of the season against Tottenham. There's no better feeling than scoring in front of the Stretford End. I aim to emulate that feeling so many more times."
