Danny Welbeck’s hat-trick for Arsenal against Fenerbache was the standout performance on Wednesday in the UEFA Champions League but the FA still thinks he is a Manchester United player.
Roy Hodgson’s England squad for the Euro 2016 qualifiers against San Marino and Estonia was announced on Thursday but in a gaffe from the FA, the official squad sheet listed Welbeck as a Manchester United player despite his move to the Gunners.
Arsenal signed Welbeck for £16million on deadline day in September, and scored his first career hat-trick for his side on Wednesday night.
Until his move to north London, Welbeck had spent the whole of his professional career at United, aside loan moves to Preston and Sunderland.
Welbeck made his debut for the Red Devils in 2008, but after six years and 92 appearances, he was sold to Arsenal.
The striker was picked alongside Wayne Rooney and Rickie Lambert to lead England’s attack in the coming games, but his United career still lives in the memory of someone at the FA.
