But the wait continues.
During the summer transfer window, Manchester United signed several attacking players but still had room for one more with a sentimental value.
Details: Football Transfers reports that there was a good chance of former winger Danny Welbeck returning to Old Trafford this summer. While personal terms were agreed upon, Brighton, his current club, could not find a suitable replacement in time.
This doesn’t mean the deal is off for good. Welbeck’s contract with Brighton lasts until the end of the season, so the club might consider selling him this winter when both sides are ready to discuss the transfer again.
Jason Wilcox is reportedly leading Manchester United’s interest in the experienced player, and sources indicate that Welbeck’s name came up while United were monitoring Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba.
Background: The 34-year-old winger played for Manchester United from 2008 to 2014, appearing 142 times, scoring 29 goals, and providing 16 assists.
