Danny Welbeck claims he was booed by his family for choosing England<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

English striker Danny Welbeck has revealed that he was booed by his own family for opting to play for the European country instead of Ghana.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The youth international, whose parents come from Ghana, was courted by the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

But he was handed his first England senior call-up in March for the friendly against the Black Stars.<\/p>\n

The decision to snub Ghana and play for England sparked fury among Black Stars fans even in his own family.<\/p>\n

Welbeck recalled the pride, and the booing from his own Ghanaian relatives, when he got an England senior cap against Ghana last \u00adseason.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cIt felt like a natural \u00adsuccession \u00adstepping up to the seniors \u00adbecause I\u2019ve been playing for \u00adEngland since I was 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I got booed \u00adbecause I was \u00adeligible to play for Ghana too!<\/p>\n

\u201cI even had a few cousins in the stands and they said they were booing!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was fine, we all had a little laugh at the end of the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve still got aunties and uncles back in Ghana and they were all really happy for me having made my debut for England so it was all sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n

Welbeck helped Manchester United win the Carling Cup and rates it as his best moment so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
