The analysis involves his life story before fame, family life and many other off-pitch facts.

Yes, everyone knows about his abilities, but not many fans have read Danny Welbeck’s Bio, which is quite interesting. Now, without further ado, let’s Begin.

Danny Welbeck Childhood Story – Early Life and Family Background:

For Biography beginners, his full names are Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah Welbeck. Danny Welbeck was born on the 26th day of November 1990 in Longsight, Manchester, United Kingdom.

The English footballer was born to his mother, Elizabeth Tumtuo Welbeck and father, Victor Chris Welbeck. Both Danny Welbeck’s parents have family origins in Ghana.

Danny lived all his life in Manchester, where he was birthed. He was first spotted by Manchester United as a six-year-old.

At eight years old, he impressed his local team, Fletcher Moss, and was finally picked up by the Manchester United youth academy.

Danny Welbeck had two mentors while growing up in the Manchester United academy. He was trained by the first, who is no other than Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Early Career Years:

The Baller was also mentored by the joint-most successful Irish footballer of all time. He is no other person than Roy Keane.

On 25 January 2010, Welbeck became Alex Ferguson’s son Darren Ferguson’s first signing as Preston North End manager as he took charge of the club in the 2009–10 season. It was at the club he realized he was injury-prone.

This was a time he started noticing swellings on his knee, which needed surgeries to fix. His knee troubles still continued in his loan move to Sunderland.

This made Man United call their very own back to let him have surgeries at the club’s expense. 

On 2 September 2014, in the late hours of deadline day, Welbeck joined Arsenal on a “long-term deal” for a £16 million fee.

Stating the reason for his departure to a direct rival, Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal said, “Welbeck doesn’t have the record of Robin van Persie or Wayne Rooney.

We let him go because of Falcao but also to allow the youngsters to fit in. That is the policy.” The rest, as they say, is now history.

Ghanian Call-Up:

Welbeck’s memorable career was highlighted in 2011 when he teamed up with Black Stars trio Asamoah Gyan, Sulley Muntari and John Mensah at Sunderland on loan.

After several attempts by the three players to convince Danny to join the four-time African Champions, he refused to give in, just like Mario Balotelli, who was also convinced severally by Muntari to naturalize for Ghana during their stay at Inter Milan.

However, the interesting fact about Welbeck was unveiled on 29 March 2011 when he was called up to the England Senior National team for their friendly fixture against his own country, Ghana.

Danny replaced Ashley Young in the 81st minute of a 1–1 draw with Ghana at Wembley Stadium.

Asamoah Gyan equalized for Ghana after Andy Carroll scored earlier. The boos from Ghanaian fans got to Danny as he missed several opportunities to put England in the lead.

After the game, Welbeck said in an interview that…‘It was a bittersweet moment. I’ve got love for both countries, but I can’t play for both,’ he said. ‘I kind of understand that (the boos), but I can’t make everyone happy.

‘I’ve been playing for England at every single youth team level so it was a natural progression to move up to the seniors. I am obviously delighted with my progress.’

What we would remember him for after retirement:

  • For his height and running style. Welbeck has been compared to former Arsenal strikers Emmanuel Adebayor and Nwankwo Kanu on the basis of height. He has styled his game on another former Arsenal forward, his boyhood hero Thierry Henry.
  • For his work rate, Danny has been described as strong, quick, and very good in the air.
  • For his injuries: He is a master of Groin, Kneel swellings and hamstring injuries.
