A biography for Danny Welbeckhasn’t been written yet.
“Fletcher Moss was where it started for me and a lot of other players as well.”
“I've never asked or demanded a penny from United.”
“I am never happy if we are not winning.”
“It's football: sometimes you're fit, and sometimes you're not.”
“People can say I've not scored enough goals, but you see the best strikers on the wing in a four-man midfield and see if they score goals. Nobody can really criticise my finishing because they don't really see me playing in a forward position too often.”
“For United, I'm more likely to be left wing of a four-man midfield with only two centre-mids, so it's a bit more difficult for me to maybe make those runs to get in and score those goals when I've got to think about my defensive duties as well.”
“If you get a big injury, it is not easy at all to deal with it.”
“There were a lot of people in Manchester that I was connected to, so it is a bit different coming to London and not knowing as many people.”
“Obviously, Thierry Henry is someone I have looked up to ever since I started playing football.”
“My parents made me who I am. They are kind, generous, loving people.”
“If I was to play on the left, I'd rather play there if there was three in midfield.”
“I go into every game like I'm playing at school!”
“It is always good to be away with a few of the older lads because you pick up so much from them every day. You see how they prepare for games, how they rest, and how they train.”
“Things move on in life, and I think you've really got to make the right decision in the situation that you're in at that moment in time.”
“I am one of those people that if you are going to say something, just say it. I take it on the chin.”
“I wouldn't say I play better for England, but my goals-per-game ratio is definitely better.”
“I have played up front for England, been away to tournaments, and scored goals there, so I know once I get into those positions I will put the chances away.”
“I used to get two buses to school, and you'd see more or less everyone in the city centre, so I kind of knew everyone around my age group.”
“You play football for a reason... I am passionate about it.”
“That's the most important thing - once you're on the pitch, you need to do your job properly.”
