[LNB]Danny Welbeck is determined to repay Sir Alex Ferguson's faith in him and become the latest local lad to make good in a Manchester United shirt.[LNB]The 20-year-old was picked by Ferguson to lead the line against Basle in the Champions League - ahead of the club's record signing Dimitar Berbatov - and responded with two goals in an 80-second spell.[LNB]Welbeck's display was one of the few positives for Ferguson in the 3-3 draw which highlighted some defensive frailty for United, and the England striker is desperate for more opportunities to prove his worth.[LNB] Local lad: Danny Welbeck is making waves at Man United this season[LNB]Welbeck said: 'The manager shows time and time again he will give local players a chance and it is then up to the individual to take it. I hope I can.[LNB]'I don't know whether it is harder for local boys up front to make it. I can only look at myself and take my opportunities when they come.[LNB]'To score those two goals was a bittersweet moment for me. To get two Champions League goals, I am buzzing about that, but we didn't get the win we should have done.[LNB] 'Buzzing': Welbeck has made a fine start to the season[LNB]'I hope I have done enough to play against Norwich. We have some great strikers at the club and whoever is in there will give it 100 per cent. I just hope I get my chances.'[LNB]Welbeck had a successful season on loan at Sunderland last year but believes he is still developing.[LNB]'I think I'm a better person than a year ago because I went to Sunderland and got more minutes in the Premier League,' he added.[LNB]'It was really good for my career and I'm just really pleased at the moment. Naturally I've been growing, I'm still only 20 years old, I'm 21 in a couple of months so I'm just naturally developing into a man.'[LNB] Basle draw makes United's progression to the next stage far from an easy rideFergie rues errors as United concede two goal lead and says: 'We just threw it away' All the latest Man United news, features and opinion[LNB]
