Nike and adidas are battling for Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck.

Footy-Boots.com says the England striker returned to Nike boots for Saturday's 4-2 win against Stoke, when he scored his first goal of the season - and earned rave reviews from Sir Alex Ferguson.

He has alternated between Nike and adidas this season, changing his boot choice three times already. But he now appears to have chosen Nike ahead of their German rivals.
