Due to his height and running style, Welbeck has been compared to former Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor, but styled his game on another former Arsenal forward, his boyhood hero Thierry Henry. He has also been known for his work-rate and has been described as strong, quick, and very good in the air. Critics have acknowledged the strength in Welbeck's style of play such as his work-rate, pace and intelligence in following tactical command, especially after his performance in both of Manchester United's Champions League knock-out stage matches against Real Madrid in 2013. Welbeck has been praised as a big game player.
