Welbeck: Man Utd players taught to play always play the game, not the occasion

Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck says playing with pressure is never a problem for him.

Rather than be submerged by a fear of failure, the 20-year-old has the perfect way of keeping all the pressure off.

"Mentally, you cannot put that pressure on yourself," he said. "You cannot say 'wow, this is a massive occasion'. You cannot be overawed by anything.

"I have been brought up always to play the game and not the occasion. At Manchester United they have drilled that into us.

"They want us to win and enjoy ourselves as well."
