He said he'd be happy to switch if that's what the manager wanted and he's used to playing on the wing as his normal position. "Anywhere in the attacking positions is my favourite, but helping the team score is what I try to do wherever I play." is what he said. If you look at the stats, he's played in the three spots (left, right, centre) about equally this season.Quote:

Welbeck looks a damn sight better on the flanks than he does the middle too, fwiw.
