EXCLUSIVE: Danny strikes new United deal: Welbeck set to sign for five more years

Danny Welbeck will sign a five-year contract worth £75,000 a week at Manchester United.
The England striker, out of Wednesday’s clash with Italy through injury, will end protracted talks about his new deal.
Welbeck, 21, had been reluctant to sign another long-term contract until his salary reflected his growing status as Wayne Rooney’s regular strike partner at United.

Five more years: Danny Welbeck looks set to sign a new deal with Manchester United
He made 30 appearances in the Barclays Premier League last season after forcing his way ahead of his rival forwards at Old Trafford— Dimitar Berbatov, Javier Hernandez and the departed Michael Owen.

He scored nine league goals for United before he was taken to Euro 2012 by new England chief Roy Hodgson. This season, Ferguson has set a minimum target of 20 goals for Welbeck, who now has nine England caps.
His new contract, to be signed imminently, is packed with incentives based on future performance.

David Johnson on Twitter is saying RVP will sign for us tomorrow or Thursday. He knows some of our Youth players and was right about the Pogba, Morrison and Zeki situations months before anyone else.

Also some Arsenal fan on there who is well respected says he's likely to be joining us.

Chilean closing on switch

Universidad de Chile striker Angelo Henriquez has reportedly travelled to England to undergo a medical with Manchester United.
However, rivals Manchester City are also said to be in talks for the highly-rated 18-year-old.
Henriquez was already in Europe, as he is with Chile's youth squad who are playing in numerous friendlies - including the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland.
United have been tracking Henriquez for months and he has already trained with the club - but reports in England claim City want him too.
But Chilean sources say he is set to join United.
Universidad de Chile's assistant manager Sebastian Beccacece was asked about Henriquez.

"No doubt he is a very useful player, with a good goalscoring talent," he told Radio ADN.
"But we have to count on the players that we have available, not the ones that aren't available."

Right guys, I want to prove how quickly BS spreads through twitter, I got some guy on redcafe to make a fake twitter account, it's called footyagent65, feel free to follow him and give him a few RT's to see if his fake RVP news makes the papers etc

Just a psychological experiment.

If we sign Henriquez I don't think we're signing RVP. Even though I expect Henriquez to be immediately loaned out after signing.

this had better not be what saf has been staying behind on club business for 0 he is at bridgewater having medical, gotta assume our hand has been forced

The timing seems odd but apparently our hands we're not forced

La Tercera says #mufc have a 'draft agreement' to sign Angelo Henriquez for 4m euros until he turns 20.

doubt it will have little effect on RVP chase, will surely mean the end for berba and even kiko?

I don't know. I guess. But even if we sell Berba, whom nobody seems to want to buy, and Kiko, we'd still have one striker too many. But again, I assume Henriquez will be loaned out. But still at 18, he should get a proper chance to make the team next season if not before.

Welbeck agrees United deal

Sky Sports understands Manchester United star Danny Welbeck has agreed a new deal at Old Trafford.

Welbeck's future at United has been the subject of speculation with contract talks dragging on for some time.

The 21-year-old's current contract expires next year and United have been looking to tie him down to a new deal.

It is believed terms over a lucrative new five-year deal have now been agreed with both parties and Welbeck is set to pledge his long-term future to United.

Welbeck impressed for United last season, establishing himself in Sir Alex Ferguson's starting XI ahead of the likes of Dimitar Berbatov and Javier Hernandez.

Welbeck broke into the England squad last term and scored the winner against Sweden in this summer's Euro 2012 finals.

Wait, I read on Twitter Arsenal would get him for RVP

[santinomarella]

Friendly against Aberdeen tonight, Fletcher on the bench! So is Dwight Yorke, Clayton Blackmore and Fortune, our new signings.

[Firefox]

75k at this stage in this career.. modern footballers. At least he's proven and will do great for the club but it's still crazy. At least it shows Manchester United can pay the high wages.

Fletchers on!

Manchester United set to land young gun Angelo Henriquez – then finally seal the deal in battle for Robin van Persie

Sir Alex Ferguson was on the verge on landing Chile starlet Angelo Henriquez last night – and the United manager will now try to finalise a deal for Robin van Persie.

The 18-year-old striker underwent a medical in Manchester yesterday ahead of move from Universidad de Chile worth around £4m.

Sources in Chile claim he will be loaned straight back with Ferguson viewing the powerful forward as a prospect for the future.

The United manager’s priority remains the £20m capture of van Persie.

He is desperate to secure a deal for the want-away Arsenal striker – pictured right – before the start of the season.

Some strong words from David Gill in tomorrow's M.E.N. - worth looking out for. #mufc

United agree van Persie deal

Manchester United is pleased to announce it has reached agreement with Arsenal Football Club for the transfer of Robin Van Persie.

The deal is subject to a medical and the agreement of personal terms. A further announcement will be made in due course.

[R3D D3V!L]

Beat me to it tut. Can't believe we're actually getting him, well, unless he fails the medical. I bet Piers Morgan is going apeshit.

Haha. I'm fast :P Feels a bit surreal. He's Arsenals captain after all. No doubt this makes us a better team though.

[santinomarella]

He might not agree personal terms...

[Tutankhamun]

He might not agree personal terms...

That's not an issue. Teams don't bid unless the player wants to come. More worried about the medical
