Danny Welbeck "pleased" with Manchester United's Christmas form

Danny Welbeck is delighted that Manchester United took six points from their two away games over the Christmas period.

Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck has revealed his delight at the club's form in the two away games over the Christmas period.

Welbeck scored the only goal on Saturday as United followed up their 3-2 win over Hull City on Boxing Day with a narrow victory at Carrow Road against Norwich City.

"We have had some difficult games over the Christmas period, especially with going away twice over the last three days," BBC Sport quotes Welbeck as saying. "So we are really pleased to come away with six points.

"We are gathering momentum - but we are not getting carried away. We just want to win the next game. I was delighted to come on at half time and get the winning goal.

"We were without Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie, but it is a squad game and it is a long season. Everyone has got a part to play and that's what happened today."

The result put United into sixth in the Premier League.
