Scholes believes Manchester United is missing Danny Welbeck

England forward Danny Welbeck was considered surplus to requirement by manager Louis Van Gaal and was sold to rival club Arsenal football club, but Paul Scholes sees the move as one which United will pay for.

Welbeck faces his former club for the first time since he left and would be ready to play his heart out on Saturday.

Dailymail quotes Scholes in the Evening Standard, 'In terms of United, they miss the energy that Danny once gave them in attack.

''My view has not changed: he should not have been sold and recently I have felt that United have looked a bit pedestrian going forward. As a United fan I am a little concerned for them going into Saturday’s game.

''Aside from Michael Carrick at his very best, United lack a central midfielder capable of linking play and getting the best out of their forwards. 

 

''They need that individual who can pass the ball forward, play one-twos and bring the strikers into the game. That kind of playmaker – a Cesc Fabregas, Luka Modric or Toni Kroos – is vital to any side. They are the brains of the team and without them the forwards can struggle.

''Much will be made of Danny Welbeck’s first game against the club at which he grew up. The immediate assumption will be that Danny is nurturing some grievance against United at being sold and will want to prove a point. 

''I don’t see it that way. Danny will want to play well because he would want to anyway, regardless of the opposition, and from what I see and hear he is very happy at Arsenal and with his move to London.''
