„Manchester United“ team manager Louis van Gaal allows 23-year-old forward Danny Welbeck to leave, with two years left on his contract with the club.
This decision by van Gaal is somewhat unexpected, as the manager wants to play with a 3-5-2 tactical scheme, which requires the team to have four forwards to maintain competition and prevent injuries. With Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie being the first choices, Welbeck was considered the third person on the list of forwards.
„I know what I said to Danny, and he knows it too,“ said van Gaal when questioned about this decision. „I guess Danny Welbeck is not saying anything about our conversation. Assistant Ryan Giggs was also present, but he is not saying anything either. And that's how it should be.“
It is believed that van Gaal plans to call up 18-year-old James Wilson to the first team, who scored twice in his debut against „Hull City“.
There were speculations in the press that Welbeck might move to Hull, but the forward is valued at around 20 million pounds sterling, so he is not the main target for the „tigers“.
„Man United“ also promises to start negotiations soon about a new contract with Phil Jones. There are two years left on the contract of this defender, and Jones hopes to reach an agreement on the contract once the transfer window closes.
