# Manchester United: Fans react as Danny Welbeck signs for Brighton

**Many Manchester United fans have reacted to [Danny Welbeck](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league/arsenal/total-duds-arsenal-danny-welbeck-injuries-transfers/)‘s latest transfer which has seen him seal a move to Premier League side Brighton and Hove Albion.**

The former England international [terminated his contract](https://www.watfordfc.com/news/official-welbeck-departs) with Championship club Watford earlier this month and it has [now been confirmed](https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/news/1866375/albion-complete-welbeck-signing) that he has penned a deal to join the Seagulls for the remainder of the season.

Scoring three goals during his 20 appearances at Vicarage Road, Welbeck offers his new club plenty of top-level experience, having played for the likes of Manchester United and Arsenal during his career.

Brighton have added Welbeck to provide competition to the likes of Neal Maupay and Aaron Connolly, with new team-mate Florin Andone currently sidelined through injury.

Having had a spell with Man United during his career, scoring [29 goals in 142 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/danny-welbeck/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/67063) for the club, the England international’s move to Sussex elicited attention from these Red Devils fans on Twitter.
