Manchester United have reached an agreement on personal terms with Brighton & Hove Albion striker Danny Welbeck as they consider a potential deal for January. Welbeck is reportedly open to a return to Manchester United, where he spent 13 years before his transfer to Arsenal in 2014. Although he had initially agreed on personal terms with Manchester United on Transfer Deadline Day, the move was not completed because Brighton did not have sufficient time to secure a replacement.
