Man Utd starlet ponders future

The 20-year-old has impressed while on loan at Sunderland this season and Black Cats boss Steve Bruce has confirmed he would like to keep the youngster at the club.

“I’ve not really thought too much about what I’m going to do, but I’ve really enjoyed my time at Sunderland,” said Welbeck.

“It has benefited me massively, just to be around with the big boys week in, week out. I’m delighted with that, but the end of the season will be the time to sit down and think about the future.

“I’m like anyone else, I want to play every week. Football is my job. I like training hard and then playing in games, but we will just see what happens in the summer.”

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has previously insisted that Welbeck’s future is at Old Trafford.
