Danny Welbeck, former Manchester United striker, has picked Olivier Giroud as the best striker he’s ever played with, leaving out Cristiano Ronaldo.

Welbeck, now playing for Brighton, previously played for both Manchester United and Arsenal. He recently scored the decisive goal in Brighton’s FA Cup victory over Newcastle.

Throughout his career, Welbeck has shared the pitch with some top-tier forwards like Ronaldo, Giroud, and Dimitar Berbatov. Speaking to Sky Sports, he reflected on those experiences.

“I didn’t get to play many games with Ronaldo, but training with him for a couple of years was incredible,” Welbeck said.

He also praised Berbatov’s quiet confidence, saying, “He knew how good he was.”

However, it was Giroud who stood out the most for him. “I loved playing alongside Olivier. We really clicked on the field. He was a top-class striker and a great partner to play with,” Welbeck added.
