Welbeck will be better once he fills out suggests Man Utd's Ferguson

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is of the belief that Danny Welbeck will become even better once he fully grows.

The 21-year old has forced his way into Ferguson's first team this season with nine goals in all competitions and the Scottish tactician is confident he will improve even further as he fills out.

"We were always aware of Danny Welbeck's ability," he said.

"The issue with him now is addressing the physical side.

"When he was 16 he had problems with his knees because he was growing, then he had some thigh problems.

"It was nothing serious, just a matter of waiting for Danny to develop into a man, which we are seeing the signs of now.

"He has a great physique but there is still more to come. Our stats show there's still a bit to do before he becomes a complete adult."
