Manchester United reward young duo Welbeck and De Laet with new deals
Danny Welbeck's rapid rise through the Manchester United ranks has sealed a new four-year contract worth £12,000-a-week.
The striker, 20, who scored the winner in his side's 1-0 Carling Cup victory over Wolves last month, is set to be rewarded with the new deal after breaking into Sir Alex Ferguson's first-team squad, according to The Sun.
United have also extended 20-year-old defender Ritchie de Laet's contract until 2012 after the Belgian impressed since his transfer from Stoke in January.
De Laet, who has two international caps, said: 'Alex Ferguson told me I'm very close to the first team.'
