Danny Welbeck has a point to prove against Man Utd, claims Louis Saha
FORMER Manchester United striker Louis Saha believes Danny Welbeck will have a point to prove when he returns to Old Trafford with Arsenal in the FA Cup.
The England striker was surplus to requirements at United when Louis van Gaal arrived in the summer, with the Dutchman offloading him to the Gunners for £16m.
The 24-year-old - who has seven goals to his name this term - will face his former employers on March 9 in the sixth round of the FA Cup.
“It is strange because you have so many great memories with team-mates that you are now facing," Saha said on Welbeck's return to Old Trafford.
