In Part Two, Danny returns to Manchester United and becomes a Premier League regular alongside Wayne Rooney, scores at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid in the Champions League and finishes the 2012/13 season as a Premier League champion. Then comes England. We discover Welbeck's first senior international goal, his unforgettable back-heel winner against Sweden at Euro 2012, and a Three Lions career which eventually brought 42 England caps and 16 goals. The FA confirms those final England numbers. We follow Danny's £16 million move from Manchester United to Arsenal, his brilliant Champions League hat-trick against Galatasaray and then the darkest period of his career: knee surgery, months of rehabilitation, another serious knee injury and a horrific ankle injury. Yet after almost ten months out, Welbeck returned against Leicester City and scored a dramatic last-gasp winner. Arsenal's own records confirm that famous comeback goal. Then comes the rebirth at Brighton & Hove Albion, where Welbeck becomes a leader, plays European football and, at 35, produces the best Premier League goalscoring season of his career with 13 goals. And finally, another astonishing twist: Danny Welbeck joins Chelsea at 35 years old, ready for yet another Premier League adventure. Chelsea's summer rebuild under Xabi Alonso includes both Welbeck and former Sunderland teammate Jordan Henderson. This is a story about talent, football and trophies. But above everything else, it is about hard work, resilience, believing in yourself and NEVER giving up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
