Gutted. Every passing minute of Welbz as a red should be cherished during this extension!

Really disappointed about this. He's been consistently good for us and we've always played better football with him in the side. Really didn't expect van gaal to let him go. Shame he couldn't have been loaned. I still feel he has goals in him given a proper run as a centre forward. He's been our best striker this season 
I already miss his 110% effort every games.
Not wanting him to do well at a rival club is understandable. It's the hate word which I thought was way over the top. The lad has every right to do what's right for his career.
You're assuming that Rooney and van Persie are undroppable even if they're off form and not doing well for several matches. Welbeck was given his chance in pre-season and did well. He got injured and didn't start immediately, but he had a decent impact for us against Sunderland, Burnley, and the Dons. If Welbeck took his chance and performed well in place of van Persie, who's to say that he would have been dropped for van Persie?
Gutted about this.
Gonna echo thoughts here but it really is a shame that this couldn't of been a loan. On top of that, if Arsenal have only paid a rival £16million for a player like Welbeck then they've got a bargain and we've had our pants taken down again.
Got a bad feeling we'll regret this sooner or later. The only acceptable explanation would be that his attitude wasn't right towards van Gaal and his vision.

This is why his transfer stinks
This is soon going to move into the football forum
feck sake. I'd get him in your fantasy teams.Yup that's going to be weird.This is soon going to move into the football forum
As soon as it's complete I'm bringing him in for Lukaku.
I died a little bit inside tonight
I had such big expectations for him this season after the first few games of pre-season as well. Though Van Gaal was going to absolutely love him
I really hope that injury he got in the Madrid game didn't have any bearing on this.

Welbeck has been pushing for a move for a while now, this hasn't happened just today because of Falcao.
You didn't actually name your child after Danny Welbeck, yeah we all like him but after a few seasons? Seriously named your child after him?
Why not? Welbz is a fine name for a young man, and it makes him stand out from the crowd.
Ok, thought it would be one or the other.
I'm still hoping this deal collapses at the last minute.
yes for me it is, because one of the greatest things in this club and the things I always admired and was proud of is developping and bringing players through our academy to the first team. He was no cleverley he proved himself already and waited for the big chance he was not getting. So we will see wilson going out to our title rival when he reaches his best age of 23? I doubt it. He is in a good age to make it here because the strikers are already declining and RVP may not be nothing but sub, rooney could drop into midfield or be transfered after his third transfer request. Falcao injury prone or not making the deal permanent after this season. He will have luck because he has got time on his side so he will be patient. Welbz was patient enough but reached the age he wanted to paly and rightly so could be our starter ahead of those lazy bastards unable anything..Van Gaal will not be here neither in 3,4 years but he will be the one who will give him chance, ayway we could be well off either with him and welbeck. But he wouldnt sacrifise his fella and newly voted captain but yet why falcao came then?
No matter what I am hugely disappointed. I don't see much players in our squad which understand the word "United" Evra, Vidic, Rio now Welbeck, this is just huge blow. Van Persie is here two seasons I just see him still as Arsenal player, Young, can you like him? a lot of newcommers from south america, quite ruining our english base.. surely new leaders will emerge and it will take time but this transition is huge and seems like if Rafael doesnt play I dont have my favourite player on the pitch right now who is Red through and through, if you understand me.. Sad times coming
Think long term.
Robin still got another two years easily, once he's done - we bring someone in.
Falcao could do the job for 4 years without any doubt. Rooney will be finally transformed into midfielder anyway.
LVG sees Januzaj as a striker, and playing behind main striker is probably his best position. So basically he takes over Rooney's position.
Wilson looks like a proper player too, selling Hernandez/Welbeck creates some space for him to progress - he's some finisher in making.
So basically after two years, once van Persie's done, and Falcao stays - we still got Falcao (30), Rooney (31), Januzaj, Wilson, plus the one player we replace RVP with, let it be some clinical striker as a future Falcao replacement. It is hardly a bad position to be in, especially when you consider having Mata and Di Maria supporting them, plus we'll surely bring some wingers in a future once we get rid of Young, Nani and Valencia.
Can't believe we're doing a favour to Arsenal, but let's be honest - Welbeck would only be a squad player here.
This hurts. Good luck to him
Top. Just imagine if we sign Falcao and Arsenal fail to sign Welbeck. Sanogo all day for them
If Welbeck were off to Spain or Italy, I wouldn't be too upset. It's the fact that we're strengthening Arsenal in a position where they desperately need it that bugs me. In my opinion, it will be between l'Arse and us for 4th place this year, and this could really screw our qualification chances.
Okay I'm clearly getting WUMed big time now.

A Herrera style collapse would be the perfect scenario. Arsenal are screwed out of buying someone they need and have no time to pursue plan B.
No, he is actually called Daniel, but it's not really after Welbeck.
Well maybe just a little bit... given that we call him Danny. Might have to start calling him Dan instead now!
They will play most of United matches simply because currently they are the better players than Welbeck. Rooney is the kind of player that when he needs a run of game to get his touch back, managers will give them. And van Persie most often than not scores even if he was playing badly. Although his impact to our top 4 finish remains to be seen, this is the best move for Welbeck career.
"Arsenal have applied for an extension to try and seal the signing of Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck."

This one sucks.
Danny is on the verge of bring a top, top player. Shame he has to go to a rival to prove that. He's got it all really, the goals will come.
Always thought United looked a bit more fluid with him in the team.
Oh well best of luck Danny. Go make a name for yourself

Start calling him Radamel

Alan Partridge ruined that name though.
Kevin Palmer said we're not signing him?
Or just Falcao. You don't feck with a kid named Falcao.Start calling him Radamel
If Falcao fails to materialise you can bet we'll pull the plug.
Couldn't agree more. All of our best football over the last couple of seasons has been when he was in the team. We'll regret letting him go IMO. Its sad. Local lad, great attitude and bags of talent. He should have been a lifer here
This will be like Sturridge to Liverpool.
Hope it doesn't come through.
That will really hurt I tell ya
