Danny Welbeck has become the father figure at Brighton that he used to look up to at Manchester United.
Welbeck, 32, is enjoying a wonderful renaissance under Roberto De Zerbi and, while he once found it “weird” playing against United, he could knock them out at Wembley and get another FA Cup winner’s medal.
Brighton striker Welbeck, who won at Wembley with Arsenal in 2017, has played under Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger and recognises something “special” in De Zerbi. Welbeck has taken some of their younger players under his wing. He even tweeted a picture with him towering over full back Tariq Lamptey and a joke about rewarding him with a McDonalds Happy Meal for a “great report at parents’ evening."
