Danny Welbeck faces a month out after injuring his hamstring in Man United's 8-2 win over Arsenal, according to Sir Alex Ferguson. The Red Devils chief was in high spirits following the Old Trafford clash on Sunday afternoon in which a Welbeck goal, Wayne Rooney hat-trick, Ashley Young brace, Nani and Ji-Sung Park efforts helped his side demolish Arsene Wenger's weakened XI.However, following his opening goal, Welbeck had to limp out of the action clutching his hamstring which could see him ruled out for the next month.He said: "Danny complained about feeling a tight hamstring but, unfortunately for us, we couldn't get Javier Hernandez on quickly enough. "The form he is showing just now it is a loss to us and England. "I don't know how long he will be out, four or five weeks maybe."Meanwhile, Ferguson was keeping his feet on the ground as his side put on an outstanding performance against one of their so-called title rivals. "It is only three games," he added. "We have a long way to go to get through winter but we have a strong squad. "Injuries can play a part in this league. Manchester City have a very strong, experienced squad. You can never rule out Chelsea and Liverpool are starting to come good now after spending a lot of money. "But in eight months' time, you don't know."
