England forward believes his strike partner at Old Trafford deserves award followin an outstanding breakthrough campaign and tips him for greatness with club and country
Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney reveals he will vote for Danny Welbeck for the club's Player of the Season award after an impressive breakthrough campaign at Old Trafford.
Welbeck was a highly-rated youngster but after growing frustrated at a lack of first-team opportunities last season, he went on a season-long loan at Sunderland and has returned to form an impressive partnership with Wayne Rooney.
Welbeck’s fine season has seen him break into the England squad and Rooney believes his strike partner has the potential to be a great player.
"There are a few candidates for Player of the Season, but I'd have to say Welbeck," Rooney told The Mirror.
"Danny's been brilliant and has spent a lot of time working on his finishing which has paid off.
"I think he'll become a great player, not just for United but for England as well.
"He brings a lot of energy to the team. He works very hard and always has defenders on the back foot, which is great for me as it gives me space to get on the ball.
"I always try to help the young lads, and I speak to Danny in particular a lot.
"He's still young and sometimes the younger players need that guidance in games or in training to get the best out of them."
