Gordon Taylor on PFA Young Player of the Year nominee: Danny Welbeck

"When Sir Alex Ferguson has faith in a player he maintains that faith. He is a player we have been giving advice to and we have looked after him for some time. He went out on loan at Sunderland and that was good for him.

"I can remember, with the social responsibility side of the PFA's work - Danny spent a day where he went to his local school in Manchester, where the obvious admiration for him from the youngsters, and the way he has kept in touch with his roots, spoke volumes for the upbringing he has had. The way he has come through has been a great credit to him. He is a top-quality lad in my experience with great ability. It would be wonderful for him to maintain the progress he has shown.

"To be at a club like Manchester United, and to be a local boy making good, and to have the benefit from playing with players like Wayne Rooney and Paul Scholes, along with Ryan Giggs, can only bring confidence. When you get the type of service that team can provide for a striker, he is in the very best place for his career at this moment in time. Everything is looking good."
