"Welbeck walked out of that tunnel, shoulders back, chest out, and you could see he was thinking he would terrorise that team. That's how he played today.
"He looked like primetime Danny Welbeck at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid."
Welbeck scored an important goal in United's 1-1 draw with Madrid in 2013 - becoming the first Englishman to score for a Premier League side at the Bernabeu since 2001. https://twitter.com/rioferdy5/status/1556671915368087553 When asked if he would have taken Welbeck at United this season, Ferdinand replied: "On today's performance, no doubt. If you wanted a back-up striker you wouldn't go wrong with Danny Welbeck "You tell him he'll play 15-20 games across the season, fill in for Cristiano [Ronaldo], give us the legs and give us the movement."He can get in behind and creates the space for the likes of Bruno [Fernandes]."
Ten Hag started Christian Eriksen as a makeshift number nine on Sunday, with Anthony Martial currently out injured and Ronaldo dropped to the bench after missing the majority of the club's pre-season.Related links:
