Red View: Welbeck praise, Liverpool v United video, wallpaper + more

WELBECK'S MAN ENOUGH FOR ANFIELD Few people of a United persuasion would be surprised if Danny Welbeck started and scored in Saturday's FA Cup clash with arch-rivals Liverpool. Such a titanic tussle would normally call for a striker older than 21 - especially with the match being played away at Anfield - but the young Mancunian has proved his mettle this month by netting vital goals at both Manchester City and Arsenal. And now that his innate attacking prowess is allied to increasing physical strength, Welbeck is becoming a formidable weapon in Sir Alex Ferguson's armoury. "We were always aware of Danny Welbeck's ability as a kid," said Sir Alex on Friday. "It was just a matter of waiting for Danny to develop into a man and we're seeing the signs now. He has a great physique but I think there's still more to come. I don't think he's finished growing yet. Our stats show there's still a bit to do before he becomes a complete adult in a physical sense." Sir Alex also commended Welbeck's positive approach to the game and credited this to Danny's development within the club. "He has a good attitude but then he should - he's a young player with an opportunity at Manchester United. That's one of the reasons you pick these players, because they show their temperament as they come through the youth teams and the reserves. I'm always confident about their temperament, their attitude to the game and their enthusiasm to play."

Here are some of his best answers... Had you not been a footballer, what would you have been? - Rahul Rana, India When I was a kid I wanted to be a pilot in a jet-fighter. Just like in the movie Top Gun! As I grew older I wanted to be a doctor and then at 16 or 17 I had a big discussion with myself about whether I should go for football or try and follow a more normal life. I think I'll stay in football because it's given me so much. What goes through your mind when you're faced with a one-on-one situation? - Mustafa Ladha, USA First, you want to know your opponent. That's half the victory. If you know your opponent normally bends it or disguises where he's going to shoot it then that can help you. Then you look for small signs in his body language, his positioning. Is he going to shoot early? Will he try and take it around you? Then you want to stay on your feet for as long as possible and make him make the first move. You want to try and take control of the situation. The preparation is so important. What hobbies do you have away from the pitch? - Evanson Kiburio, Kenya I do a lot of cooking. It's a big hobby and it's almost meditational for me. I play a bit of golf and I'm also studying for a business economics degree through a Danish university. I'm preparing for my life after football already. You have to remember there'll be a time when the lights go out and you're not a footballer anymore. Who's the funniest person in the dressing room and why? - Harshal Patel, India There are a lot of funny guys in the dressing room. Wazza would definitely say it was him. It's hard... Ando is funny, too. Rio is a really funny guy, too. I've been crying laughing sometimes having conversations with Rio. We have a great atmosphere at this club. Which past United team would you like to have played in and why? - Stephanie Garside, Manchester That's a good question. I'd probably pick one of the old ones to experience the legends. From my childhood I remember the 1999 team well. For me, that (Nou Camp, 1999) was the most legendary football match of all time. It was strange to come here on the first day and see Scholesy and Giggs. They were my childhood heroes. Suddenly I was on an exercise bike next to them. That was an unreal moment. I'd also love to have played with Charlton, Law and Best. They were such great players and big characters.
