Manchester United forward Danny Welbeck has admitted to living the dream after revelling in his match-winning performance against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the League Cup last night.
The Red Devils were comfortable 1-0 winners thanks to a superbly taken goal from Welbeck. The No.19 showed shades of former United legend Dwight Yorke as he played a quick one-two with Michael Owen and accelerated through the Wolves defence, finishing with aplomb low into the corner past goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann.
The 18-year-old’s performance was sure to have impressed Sir Alex Ferguson, and while the England Under-21 international said he was enjoying any chance to play, he vowed to keep working hard to break into the first team more regularly.
"I'm just like any other normal Manc [Manchester] boy, really," Danny told the United official website.
"To be given the chance to play for United is a dream, and I'm always willing to go when asked. I need to carry on training hard and get more first team chances.
"That's all of the young boys' aim. We're just looking forward to the next round now, so just play as many youngsters as possible, Fergie!"
Welbeck was clearly delighted with his goal and enjoyed the instant understanding enjoyed with Owen in a previously untested partnership.
"Tonight it was great playing with Michael Owen, because Michael Owen's Michael Owen. You can always learn from his movement, it's unbelievable. I just knew he was around the corner and he knew where I was going next. He played it there and I finished it off well."
United were comfortable winners despite going down to 10 men after half an hour, following the dismissal of Fabio Da Silva for a professional foul on Wolves midfielder Michael Kightly.
"It looked like he [Fabio] slipped," Welbeck said. "He did really well to get back at first, but then he slipped and it was unlucky for him. But I think he'll take it in his stride and become a better player for that.
"I thought we did really well to be fair, being down to 10 men for an hour. We went one up-front so I was playing as a left winger-striker kind of role. I just had to get used to the game, get a few more touches on the ball and then the goal came, so I was pleased with that."
