Manchester United have confirmed Danny Welbeck will join Sunderland on a season long loan. The 19 year-old striker will be available for the Black Cats’ season opener against Birmingham City on Saturday.

Personally, I like Welbeck I think he’s a talented young striker but with Hernandez, Macheda, Owen, Berbatov, and now Bebe available to come off the bench (in that order). Welbeck was being pushed further and further down the bench.

It was the right move for all parties, Welbeck, Manchester United, and Sunderland. There, Welbeck will have more first team action and have the opportunity to team up with Bent.

What do you think, was this a wise move?
