Manchester United Right To Sell Danny Welbeck - Mark Bosnich

Mark Bosnich believes Manchester United were right to sell Danny Welbeck this summer. The England striker joined Arsenal on transfer deadline day in a £16million switch, following the arrival of Radamel Falcao at Old Trafford. Club legends Bryan Robson and Gary Neville have both questioned Louis van Gaal’s decision on talkSPORT, but former goalkeeper Bosnich claims the club has made the correct call.

“From Danny Welbeck’s point of view, it’s the perfect move, when you look at the players he was in contention with at Manchester United,” he told the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast show.


“Man United have been very good. They could have been selfish and said, ‘you’re not going anywhere, just in case we get injuries’.

“That would have limited his playing time and that would have affected his chances with England.

“I think they’ve done the right thing by the player. They have also been very honest and said, ‘we’ve got Falcao, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie. Your chances are going to be limited because of the way I’m going to play’. It’s being very fair to Welbeck.

“From the club’s aspect, as well, he was the most sellable asset.”
