Danny Welbeck has warned Sunderland there is no room for sentiment in Saturday’s Barclays Premier League encounter.

The England striker thoroughly enjoyed last season’s loan spell at the Stadium of Light and is full of admiration for Steve Bruce’s Black Cats. The term on Wearside clearly helped develop Welbeck into a player capable of holding down a first-team place at Old Trafford and, although he’s looking forward to meeting his former team-mates, his thoughts are solely focused on helping United collect another three points.

“I know quite a few of the players, so it’ll be good to see them again, but, when it comes down to it, I’ll be ruthless,” Welbeck insisted. “I just want to win the game. There’s no friends out on the pitch.

“It was a great club to go to – a massive club and I really enjoyed my time there. The fans were great and I can’t thank them enough.”

Although the Reds have put the derby disaster to City behind them with three consecutive wins and clean sheets in all competitions, the scars may take some time to heal for the players – even Welbeck, who was one of the brightest performers in defeat.

“It was the lowest point of my career,” he explained. “We didn’t do ourselves justice and it was tough to go down to 10 men against a good side.

“Maybe we should have shut up shop and bided our time but that’s football and we need to get over that.
