Welbeck in flying form for Fergie’s fledglings

OF the Manchester United youngsters that have won so much praise and faith from Alex Ferguson, Danny Welbeck has been the one to raise eyebrows, yet he justified the hype with a goal and an assist as the champions maintained their perfect start to the season last night.

With no Luka Modric, who was left out of Tottenham’s squad with Harry Redknapp claiming he was not right mentally amid heightened interest from Chelsea, the visitors matched Ferguson’s men for an hour.

But then this United side, reputedly the second youngest ever for a league game, pulled them apart with Welbeck leading the charge.
