Welbeck admits he must improve goalscoring for Man Utd

Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck knows he must improve his goalscoring next season.

Welbeck was asked to play in various positions for the Old Trafford giants last season, he conceded he must find his shooting boots when new boss David Moyes takes charge next month.

"Overall, there have been improvements to my game and I have been more consistent," said Welbeck.

"But I've been playing on the wing, which has inhibited my ability to get into goal-scoring positions.

"I've played up front for England, been away to tournaments and scored goals there, so I know once I get into those positions I will put the chances away.

"I'm also aware that knowing how to play in different positions and developing in different areas of the pitch and will only benefit me and the teams I play for.

"I'm happy to help the team out and it doesn't really matter whether I'm playing on the wing or up front, I should have had a much better goal return."
