Welbeck stars in World Cup

Young United winger Danny Welbeck has helped England reach the last 16 of the FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Korea after victory over Brazil.

The Reds winger was part of Paul McGuinness' side that reached the FA Youth Cup final last season, losing on penalities to Liverpool. He has signed scholarship forms in United's Academy this year and has already been highlighted as a promising player for the future by Sir Alex Ferguson.

The 16-year-old midfielder, who was an unused substitute in England's first match - a 1-1 draw with host nation Korea - played in both of the last two matches to help John Peacock's side finish top of Group B.

Manchester-born Welbeck scored twice in England’s 5-0 thrashing of New Zealand earlier this week, and he also played 83 minutes of the Three Lions’ 2-1 victory over tournament favourites Brazil on Friday.
