Danny Welbeck

His inclusion may seem a little harsh as he was brought on at half time for Phil Jones in a tactical re-shuffle after the chunky midfield went off injured. Welbeck has never been the most clinical in front of goal, in fact he has been openly mocked in the past for his lack of goals, but this season he has tidied up his finishing.

This was a performance from the Welbeck of old though, as he failed to make any positive contribution whatsoever. Or at least what I can remember.

In his 45 minutes of play, the England international had two shots at goal but both were easily blocked by the Stoke defence.

He attempted three passes, yes three, completed just one of those, and even that was in the middle of the pitch and was a short-range ball.

He looked lost and was forced back into a deeper role and onto the left wing, and in turn he looked out of his depth.

To be sincere man utd is being beaten by 5 individuals. DAVID MOYES. the manager as he said he doesn't know what he is doing as he declared immediately after the match, he is playing his own style that will never win in foot ball, he has false belief, thus believes in some players that are not even football players, the likes of ashely young, chris smalling, danny welbeck, and even luis nani, these players are just good for average teams not united. i even wonder why adnan januzaj, sinji kagawa and rafeal are benched in favour of those flops above. however much real ferdnand is old yesterday's match after jones injury would be considerd. FOR SURE I'M THE MOST DISAPPOINTED MAN UTD FAN ON THE PLANET AND CALLING FOR THE EXIT OF 4 OUTT OF THOSE FIVE INDIVIDUALS OR ELSE ALL OF THEM.
