MASTER AND APPRENTICE ... RVP watches on as Welbeck trains in Sydneyc

DAVID MOYES has backed Robin van Persie to repeat his scintillating title-winning form of last season.

Now the new Manchester United boss has called on England striker Danny Welbeck to join the Dutchman in the goalscoring stakes.

Van Persie hit 30 goals in a spectacular debut season for the Old Trafford outfit after his £22million switch from Arsenal.

He has joined up with the squad in Sydney ahead of tonight’s match against the A-League All Stars and Moyes said: “I got to see him this week for the first time.

“His control, touch, awareness and finishing in the small games is excellent. I’ve really been impressed by his professionalism, too. We’re trying to get him into a condition where he can do exactly what he did last year — score goals and be a big influence.”

While Van Persie was scoring for fun last season, Welbeck was not having much in front of goal, scoring only TWICE.

Though he was getting in good positions, he did not convert his chances — and it was the same in the first game of United’s tour as they lost 1-0 to the Singha All-Star XI.

Moyes said: “When I arrived I was told how important Danny had been and how important he will be. We’re giving him an opportunity now and we’re hoping his goals come as well. He had a couple of chances the other night. But it would be worse if he wasn’t getting chances.

“Hopefully he’ll start taking a few of those chances and that will give him the confidence he needs to go on a run.”

And Old Trafford gaffer Moyes admitted Welbeck knows he needs to up his game.

He said: “He’s aware there’s an issue. I’ve told him the harder you work you tend to find the more luck comes your way.”

Welbeck will get another opportunity tonight in Sydney, where a crowd of over 80,000 is expecting a United victory.

And Moyes does not want to let them down. He said: “I want to see us step up from where we were in Thailand.”
