In the latest Stick to Football podcast, Gary Neville was full of praise for Welbeck's recent performances. He pointed out that Welbeck's form has surpassed that of any other striker in United's squad, and was outspoken about United's poor decision to let the former striker go. In the face of this view from Neville, Roy Keane offered a very different opinion, seriously questioning Neville and arguing that a player's successful performances since leaving the club do not simply justify retention.
Although Neville is adamant that Welbeck is a key player if United are to expand to a 24-man squad with the intention of retaining five or six strikers, Keane is not convinced. However, Keane is not convinced and believes that some players do find a spring in their step after leaving United, but this is not enough to prove that they are strong enough to meet the strict standards and requirements of United. In this debate about the future layout of Manchester United's forward line, the two former Red Devils stars have their own opinions, and their views are fiercely exchanged.
