Sunderland confident seeing off Blackpool for Man Utd striker Welbeck

Sunderland boss Steve Bruce is hoping that his close friendship with Sir Alex Ferguson will help him to beat Premier League new boys Blackpool in the race to loan 19-year-old Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck.

Both clubs are seeking a loan agreement for Welbeck.

The striker's future could be decided this week with United's squad back on UK soil following their tour of the US and Mexico.
