Former Manchester United midfielder David Beckham told the BBC on
Tuesday that he was “sad” to see home-grown striker Danny Welbeck leave
the club for their Premier League rivals Arsenal.
Welbeck, 23, was
allowed to
join Arsenal in a deal reportedly worth £16 million ($26.6
million, 20.2 million euros) on Monday after United agreed to sign
Colombia striker Radamel Falcao on a season-long loan from Monaco.
“He
(Welbeck) has been there since he was eight. His heart was in
Manchester,” said Beckham, who graduated from the United youth team in
the mid-1990s before establishing himself at Old Trafford.
“I am
sure he is obviously sad to leave Manchester United. Arsenal have a very
good, young, talented English player, but to see him leave Manchester
United, as a Manchester United fan, is obviously sad.”
