Welbeck declares himself ready for Man Utd return

Danny Welbeck says he is ready for action with Manchester United after three weeks on the sidelines.

The 20-year old striker injured his hamstring in the 8-2 win over Arsenal at the end of August but returned to training last week and could be up for selection for tonight's Carling Cup meeting with Leeds United.

Welbeck has declared himself fit for the Elland Road clash which he sees as a great chance for some of the clubs youngsters to show what they are capable of.

"I trained late last week and had a little rest on Sunday before coming back in again on Monday," he told the club's official website.

"I'm feeling good. I don't know the squad yet for Leeds but, if I'm called upon, I'm always prepared to be there as I feel ready. I wouldn't be training if I wasn't."

He added: "These games mean so much to the club and I think bringing the youth through for these matches is always a big positive.

"I hope quite a few of them get a chance to show what they can do. There's a lot of talent at Manchester United and I'm sure, if they get a chance, they'll showcase that talent."
