Tottenham midfielder Alli: The day an upset Welbeck blanked me

Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli has revealed how England teammate Danny Welbeck blanked him as a kid.

Arsenal striker Welbeck refused to give him his Manchester United shirt after Alli, then 18, starred in MK Dons' 4-0 win over Louis van Gaal's team.

He told the Mirror: “Me and Danny have a joke about it because I asked him for his shirt (laughing).

“We speak about it now. He wouldn't give it to me.

“I think he wanted to keep that shirt but he was polite about it. He wasn't naughty, he was really nice.

“I've still got my shirt. I wasn't going to give him mine... I just wanted his."
