"Amorim wanted another attacker at the club and according to Football Transfers, the Red Devils had agreed personal terms with former striker Danny Welbeck who now plays for Brighton. The 34-year-old scored ten goals in the Premier League last season and his performances impressed his former club. With United looking to add depth to their attack after the departure of Rasmus Hojlund to Napoli, Welbeck was considered by the club for a late mate."
"United explored a move for another Brighton player, midfielder Carlos Baleba but the Premier League side were reluctant to sell him this summer. During talks for Baleba, the Red Devils discussed the potential to sign Welbeck. Jason Wilcox was personally involved in discussions to bring Welbeck back to Old Trafford. Welbeck scored 29 goals in 142 senior appearances for the Red Devils but due to competition for places at the club, he was sold to Arsenal back in 2014."
Ruben Amorim overhauled Manchester United's attack by signing Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo and added goalkeeper Senne Lammens on Deadline Day. United pursued a late move for former striker Danny Welbeck, reportedly agreeing personal terms, but Brighton declined to sanction the transfer because they lacked time to sign a replacement. Welbeck, 34, scored ten Premier League goals last season and may be a January target. United also explored signing Carlos Baleba, with Jason Wilcox involved in talks, but Brighton were reluctant to sell. Questions remain over Welbeck's impact given his age and forward depth.
