Welbeck Hopes To Be Central To Moyes’ Plans

Danny Welbeck is targeting a central role next season as he looks to improve his fortunes in front of goal.

The forward found the net just twice this season, a drastic decrease from the 12 he scored in the 2011/2012 season, but this can be attributed partly to the fact he featured largely in wide positions.

With the England international making a career high number of appearances in a season, his goal return has left him disappointed but Welbeck feels that he can rectify this if played through the middle.

Speaking to MUTV, the 22 year old said:

“This season has been the most number of matches I have played and my performances have been a lot more consistent but the goals return has not been good at all.

“I do feel if I can get a better goals return I will be flying.

“I want to be up front and scoring goals.

“If I am playing on the wings I still want to score more goals but preferably I will be up front and scoring goals there.”
