Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck has told the Daily Mirror of his delight at Marcus Rashford’s impressive impact at Manchester United.
Rashford, 18, scored twice on his United debut in the Europa League last weekend before netting another brace last Sunday, as he helped inflict a 3-2 defeat on Welbeck’s Arsenal.
Like Rashford, Welbeck, 25, made his way through United’s youth setup, going on to score 20 Premier League goals in 92 appearances.
The England international, who left Old Trafford for the Gunners in 2014, said of Rashford: “We both grew up in Manchester, came through Fletcher Moss Rangers and then onto Manchester United, coming through the academy, making it into the first team and making a debut.
He has done brilliantly well. Individually I was really pleased for him, obviously to make a great debut like that in the Europa League and then into the weekend he did well.
“It was disappointing [for us] on the day. I was down when we lost that match. I’m pleased for Marcus but disappointed to lose that game.
“My brother is very close with his family. He’s known his family for a very long time and Marcus was coming through the ranks at United when I was playing in the first team and I would see him all of the time.
“He’s someone that I always spoke to. He’s a great kid. He’s very level headed. He’s got great potential and I hope he does very well. I’ve spoken to him a couple of times.
“Fletcher Moss was where it started for me and a lot of other players as well. It’s vital that they get the stature back up again, get everything running smoothly again.
“There’s a lot of talent in Manchester that grows up in and around that club. Hopefully it can keep going for many more years.”
