The one they let go. The deal the fans never agreed with. Danny Welbeck was one of Manchester United’s very own having grown up at the club, spending a total of 13 years. The Red Devils were in bad shape following the departure of David Moyes and Louis van Gaal’s arrival along with a star-studded cast of attacking talents saw Welbeck say, ‘Enough is enough’.

Radamel Falcao and Angel Di Maria were brought in for what is now silly money in hindsight while Wenger’s ears perked up when he heard Welbeck wanted out of Old Trafford. £16m exchanged hands and the Manchester lad became a Gunner.

Welbeck had a decent first season at Arsenal prior to his injury. The Gunners won the FA Cup that season but he had missed the final due to injury. However, he had scored the most important goal of the campaign to get them to Wembley – the winner against Manchester United at Old Trafford in the quarter-finals.

Welbeck’s goal is at 3:20.
