If he leaves, then it's probably because he wants to play upfront every week. Hopefully we get a decent fee.
Danny Welbeck | Manchester United: 2001-2014

He won't have, why would he? He was playing ahead of Hernandez in pre season. He'll get plenty of games as a striker as LVG will rotate our strikers properly. It's a good situation at present for Danny, he gets to be managed by a manager who has developed some of the best talents in Europe and being played in his natural position. He could very easily displace RvP from the first team this season if he brings last Decembers form to the table.
Having said all that, it wouldn't be the first time that an agent has given a player terrible advice.
We're definitely going to get rid of a couple of attackers, wouldn't be surprised if Welbeck is on his way out, maybe even on his own wish. I'm not going to lie, he hasn't developed as I hoped, but still a useful squad player and of course a Manc... Hernandez should be out of the door before him. Regardless, United will continue and I trust LVG's judgements. Danny won't play through the middle for us in the near future (and neither medium term, that's Rooney' spot cemented there) and he isn't exactly that useful out wide. A loss surely, but one we can cope with IMO.
If we want good money for him then a move to another prem team has to happen.
Surely it's obvious, because they both prefer to play up front.
We're trying to get rid of Anderson but there is no interest.
He wants to play every week? And that isn't going to happen with us for some time, if at all.
Am I the only one who wouldn't be fussed about Welbeck leaving?
That's true. Southampton have a load of cash flying around but didn't they just buy a new striker? I think he'd fit in there and that's probably the best he could hope for if it's to be a club outside the top 6
Newcastle, maybe.
Which says a lot about his progress since breaking through. I don't think he's developed at all, if very little.
Just doesn't make sense to me.
Local lad, engrained in the club. Has the pace, industry and link-up play that our other strikers lack. Still young and someone I'd have thought LvG would improved as a striker.
Unless he's been played out of position for too long now and has had enough? Shit news either way.

I suppose the problem with Danny is that although he's an excellent squad player he probably won't develop to the stage he's no. 1 striker here.
Can we get rid of Rooney instead?
He'll be 24 in three months, he's not that young, and his career has stalled. He's got a manager who can improve him? Yes, but that manager also has Rooney and Van Persie as first choice options.
It's a shitty situation but in a way this is where Van Persie's signing gave us great short term results.... and kind of fecked us up when it came to developing with an eye on the future.
Must be his wish to leave but LVG can't have made much of an effort to talk him into staying. With a two-striker formation and Welbeck as third-choice behind Rooney and an ageing, injury-prone RvP, it must have been possible to convince him that he'd get plenty of chances in his favoured position. So disappointed with this.
Reckon Welbeck has asked to leave and got the reply 'yes, but under this and that conditions only'... would shed a different light on the whole case. I don't think LVG wanted to get rid initially, but if the player wants out... goodbye.
Same as, selling Hernandez would make more sense to me.
Can this summer get any worse?
I fecking hope we have players lined up, otherwise I'm going to question what the feck LvG and Woody are up to.

Selling the last spec of speed we have, unless he wants to leave for his own reasons is not a smart move.
Even though I don't think they will sell to rivals, Chelsea should be all over this. He would be a great back-up for costa and he is the type of player mourinho likes to use in big games. He is a nuisance for opposition defenders and will press them and make life difficult for them and will prevent the opposition from building from the back and will force them into hitting long balls which are much less dangerous than quick through balls along the ground which are mostly started from the backline.
Nope.
I don't like this news. He possesses all the attributes to be a top class striker besides for finishing which will come with consistent playing time up front. It will be a shame if we let go of a local lad. Really thought he would excel under LVG because he is pretty versatile.
I'm really not sure in that. actually, I'm pretty sure that if he was to leave, Newcastle and Southampton would be the only clubs willing to pay good fee for him. rich foreign clubs probably don't rate him that much and the rest of serie a, la liga and bundesliga just don't have the money.
I'll go mad if he leaves, Hernandez is the one who should, and there are lots of others I'd rather being sold.
I'd just like to see him and Januzaj together more, because for me that looks like a lethal partnership. Of course there's Rooney, RVP and Mata but those players lack the speed on and off the ball, it's not the same.
If we want to play attacking football with great movement Welbeck plays a vital part. But that's just my opinion.

Here's hoping he has a buy back clause. I've always thought first team football elsewhere would do him good. It's impossible here
Does Chicha want to leave? If he's happy to stay then I'd like to hope we'll keep him now that Welbeck wants off
If he wants to leave over a lack of playing time and we can't promise him any more than he is getting then we should seriously look at a loan.
Getting a deal for him similar to the one Courtois had with Atletico would be a better option than selling him.
Lots of prem teams with money to splash on a striker. Here's hoping we get about 15 million.
I'm of this view, however if Welbeck wants to leave and Hernandez wants to say then I have no issue with the clubs actions. I'd be disappointed, but it's certainly understandable
Selling him would be making our squad weaker, he is hit and miss and frustrating at times but he offers something different in terms of his pace, work rate and link up play. Losing our 3rd choice striker with very little time to replace him would be another example of poor planning, it would also mean keeping Hernandez who looks like a player who needs/wants to move on and who has been struggling for form for a long time. I think we would have been better off last Saturday if Welbeck had been fit to play instead of him and although Wilson deserves a chance it should be in place of Hernandez not Welbeck.
It's an idea but he might want a permanent move rather than just a loan.
I would be absolutely disappointed if Danny is sold.
Would be very disappointing to see Danny leave but everything he offers us (Passing,Movement,Pace)but really that's what any top striker should offer. Danny biggest problem is he's pretty awful when put through on goal and for a striker that's a pretty big problem to have.
Although I do think it will be have a bad effect on the team unless we are going to buy someone(which I can't see happing at all)or promote Wilson. I do think with Wilson we've got an absolute gem of a player,so we won't be lacking quality but in saying that I can't see why we can't keep danny as well(unless as you said he want's to go then there's not a lot we can do)
