Manchester United legend Rooney recently talked about Welbeck in his podcast. He is happy that the Manchester United youth training is still standing in the top league.
Rooney said: "I'm so excited, he's in great shape and I really admire Welbeck. He's always been such a good player in the Premier League and Manchester United should have brought him back to the team because he can score goals and run hard. I think I've really wanted him over the past few years. I hope to see him return. Now Manchester United is going in a different direction, but hopefully it has turned around for a few years. He seems to be very settled at Brighton. I just hope that he can keep scoring goals and give himself the best chance of returning to the England team."
When asked. When asked about his impressions of working with Welbeck at Manchester United in 2011, Rooney added: "He was brilliant at the time. Seriously, he was fantastic. His high press was very aggressive and fast, he had a great football intelligence, he was nimble with his feet and he also scored goals. I couldn't praise him enough. Injuries in his career may have It once hindered him, but now he looks healthy and is fully demonstrating his strength."
Now that England's top scorer Kane is still at his peak, coach Tuchel is looking for a substitute for the Bayern forward, and Rooney believes that Welbeck fully meets the requirements. He said: "He is going through a period of explosive form, and his current position is destined to make Tuchel have to pay attention to him. After Kane, he may be the best candidate among the English forwards, which gives him a chance."
"I am not saying that Welbeck will be willing to be a substitute, but other players may want to challenge Kane's starting position. I think this is unrealistic, but Welbeck can use his own experience to drive the team like Jordan Henderson. More importantly, he has the ability to be a substitute. Tuchel absolutely needs to examine his ability to change the situation. "
"I will not even call up Kane on the next international break to let him rest and examine players like Welbeck, Watkins and Tony. There are few opportunities left to inspect players before the World Cup, and Tuchel must evaluate these players quickly."
Rooney's podcast partner and Manchester United fan Karl Kurd also believes that the Red Devils sold Welbeck that year. He said: "I never wanted him to leave, and letting Welbeck and Evans go was a big mistake in my opinion."
"These players have played alongside Rooney and others, and we need this understanding of the continuity of Manchester United's playing tradition. Welbeck knows the club well, and I have always been reluctant to see him leave. Even making a surprise offer now would be a coup."
