On the 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 striker in United's squad and was convinced that United made a mistake in letting him go. Roy Keane, on the other hand, seriously challenged Neville's view that a player's potential to shine after leaving the club is not enough to justify keeping him at United in the first place.
Neville has not wavered in his belief that Welbeck will be a key part of United's 24-man squad if they maintain their plans to keep five or six strikers. Keane, on the other hand, disagreed, emphasizing that players may have a spring in their step outside of United, but that doesn't mean they are capable of adapting to its tough standards and demands. The two former United superstars exchanged heated words in a debate over the player's stay and departure.
