Rooney sorry Welbeck quit Man Utd for Arsenal

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is sorry they've lost Danny Welbeck to Arsenal.

Roo is sure that joining Arsenal can galvanise his ­fellow forward.

He said: "Danny is a lively player, an impact player. He is quick, he can score goals and I am sure he can play up front for Arsenal and that will really help him with England.

"It's a big moment for him obviously. It was a really tough decision for him to move but for his professional ­career, he felt he had to.

"He was a popular lad in the United dressing room, we all ­respect him, are good friends with him and will miss him at Old Trafford.

"But I wish him all the best and I hope he does well."
