Danny Welbeck Receives Death Threats After Celebrating Goal Against Manchester United

Arsenal striker Danny Welbeck has been attacked by fans for scoring and celebrating against his old club in yesterday's FA cup encounter between Manchester united and Arsenal football club.

The 24-year-old star slid the ball into an open net after leaving David de Gea stranded as he tried to reach a wayward Antonio Valencia back pass.

But according to Mirror Online, after a goal celebration that sent the 9,000 travelling Arsenal fans into rapture, the striker was the target of a string of vile comments on social media.

Nolove said: "Danny Welbeck I will find you and I will kill you."

Another added: "Somebody just KILL Welbeck! Can't stand the a**hole! #RedOrDead#MUFC."

UtdMads wrote: "Welbeck you c*** celebrating. You are so DEAD to me! F******* JUDAS."

Grande DeGea said: "Hey Welbeck, when you die, I will celebrate it in front of your family."

Another so-called football fan added: "hope welbeck breaks his f******* leg and can't play ever again f******* judas c***."

However, many United fans clapped for their former star when he was substituted towards of the game by boss Arsene Wenger, who snapped him up last summer after he was told by United manager Louis van Gaal, he had no future at the club.

One added: "LVG didn't show him any respect by selling him why should he show us any?"

And former players applauded his right to celebrate his goal. Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher said: "Brilliant celebration from Welbeck none of that respect Man Utd fans nonsense."

Ex-Anfield star Jamie Redknapp added: "I just loved seeing Danny Welbeck celebrate his goal. It is a load of tosh when a former player doesn't celebrate against his old team.

"Goal scoring is why we play/watch/support — and it's a while since Danny scored one! United didn't want to keep him, he left for Arsenal and here he was back at Old Trafford scoring a predatory winner."
