Manchester United legend Paul Scholes feels that the Red Devils selling Danny Welbeck in the summer of 2014 was a bad call.
The English forward, a product of Manchester United's youth academy, was sold to Premier League rivals Arsenal in September 2014, after making 142 appearances for the club across all competitions with a goal tally of 29 to his name.
The Red Devils under Dutch manager Louis van Gaal have struggled for form this season, with the latest failure coming in the form of the side being knocked out of the Europa League after losing to Liverpool 3-1 on aggregate.
Welbeck has missed most of the current season through injury, but has now returned to action for Arsenal.
And Scholes feels that the former Manchester United striker would have walked into Van Gaal’s eleven, insisting that letting him go was not a very wise decision.
