DANNY WELBECK made his debut for England against the backdrop of boos from the fans he had snubbed \u2013 only to be begged afterwards to change his mind.<\/p>\n

Media representatives from Ghana collared the Manchester United star, currently on loan to Sunderland, and urged him not to turn his back on the country after it emerged he could still play for Ghana, where his mother was born.<\/p>\n

The latest FIFA regulations state only competitive matches count and that \u2013 unlike previously \u2013 there is no time limit for Welbeck to make an application to change.<\/p>\n

However, while Welbeck was conscious of the mix of emotions in making his first senior appearance for England against Ghana, he is merely continuing a trend. \u201cFor me, it was a bitter-sweet moment,\u201d he said. \u201cI was really happy to make my debut for England, but to play against Ghana was a slight concern for me.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy parents are from Ghana but it is a natural progression for me after playing at every single England youth-team level to progress to the seniors.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the start of the season, I have been speaking to John Mensah and Asamoah Gyan and they are the ones saying, \u2018Come and play for Ghana\u2019. \u201cBut I can\u2019t make everyone happy and I\u2019m sorry for that. \u201cThe England cap was invaluable in terms of my progress and I\u2019ll take that in my stride.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
