Old Trafford star set for Deepdale loan
Preston North End, 15:53, January 24, 2010 ,
Preston North End boss Darren Ferguson is set to secure Manchester United youngster Danny Welbeck on loan.
The 19-year-old has made only one Premier League start for United this term and now the Reds are out of the FA Cup and planning a strong line-up in the Carling Cup semi-final second leg, his chances look limited.
Ferguson's father, United boss Sir Alex Ferguson, believes his attacking options are good enough with Mame Biram Diouf joining Wayne Rooney, Dimitar Berbatov, Michael Owen and Federico Macheda, so will loan him to Preston.
Welbeck will follow in the footsteps of David Beckham who honed his skills at Deepdale before rejoining United 15 years ago.
