Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is pleased with the development of striker Danny Welbeck.
The 21-year-old has 12 goals and his partnership with 33-goal Wayne Rooney is being compared to Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole from the Treble season of 1998-99.
Ferguson said: “With Danny being fit again and playing consistently, he’s developed.
“I think last week we saw something special. I know there was a lot of reference to the Yorke and Cole thing and I think there are similarities to that.
“I thought Welbeck’s movement was fantastic last week. He did really well. Attacking-wise we were terrific in the second half.
“Wayne is 26 now and Danny is 21. I would think over the next few years it can only get better. I hope so.”
