Man Utd youngster Welbeck backed to be difference for England tonight

Arsenal hero Martin Keown feels Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck can be the difference for England tonight against France.

Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "After getting injured a few weeks ago, Danny Welbeck might not have been sure of his place in the England squad but he took his first international goal last week so coolly. He seemed confident, not doubting himself.

"He has such pace and mobility, which England haven't always had up front in recent years, and he can make a massive difference. When I played, I wanted our striker to be as fast as the opposition's front man. With Welbeck, that is certainly the case."
