Arsenal attacker Danny Welbeck has expressed his delight to Arsenal Player at the added freedom he gets from playing under Arsene Wenger.
The England international also praised Sir Alex Ferguson, his previous manager at Manchester United, stating the pair are ‘legends’.
Both [managers] have that presence and both are legends in the modern game.
What can I say? They have won plenty of trophies between them and I have worked under Sir Alex and Arsène Wenger and it is a great honour to say that, but I want to be the best that I can be.
The 25-year-old continued, claiming he feels free on the football pitch.
I definitely feel free. Before we go out against a team we have analysed before hand [Arsène Wenger] gives the team a few pointers of what he wants us to be doing on the pitch and the lads stick to that. But he also gives you the freedom to express yourself and play the way you want to play.
Welbeck hasn’t played for the Gunners since late April, struggling with a knee injury and is not expected back until the New Year.
The former Manchester United player admitted it has been tough being out so long.
It is difficult, it is my first injury that has kept me out for so long. I had my operation and once that is sorted you can be out for a few more months.
For the first month, in a leg brace, not being able to do anything, on a machine six hours a day, it was very difficult. But you have to try and see the positives. Luckily I had my family around me, my friends came down to London and I had my brothers.
It was good to have people around me and have that support. You wake up in the morning and know you have double sessions in the gym it is hard but you have to see the positive side and I have learnt a lot more being injured on how to look after your body and prevent injuries.
I have to see the positive side and hopefully when I come back, I will be flying.
