Former Arsenal and Leicester striker believes Danny Welbeck should not rush return to Manchester United and has say on '£110 million' Brighton midfielder

The veteran forward has been linked with a move back to Old Trafford, but Dickov is far from convinced.

He is also not sure that United target Baleba cannot justify the £110m valuation that Brighton have reportedly put on him.

Dickov gave the exclusive interview with Best Betting Bonuses.

Is Danny Welbeck a sensible target for winter? Dickov said: “It would be a big shout, actually, wouldn't it? Danny's been excellent. He seems to get better as he gets older. I think he's the highest scoring Englishman in the Premier League this season.

“Danny's obviously a Manchester boy, came through the academy. But it'll be interesting to see what United do and for how long Sesko is actually out for.

“Because they spent big on him. He was the one that they wanted in the summer. But with strikers, and I know that myself, we're very selfish.

“Any striker joining United in the winter will know that Sesko will be coming back, and almost certainly play ahead of him. Are United going to go and spend big and get a centre-forward that's going to come in and then have two centre-forwards that have got a big price tag? Is one going to sit on the bench?

“Especially in the January market, it's really difficult to go out there and get the players that you want. Then I know with Danny Welbeck, if United come in, it’s not even certain he will want to leave Brighton or if Brighton would let him leave.

“At the back of his mind, he's going to be thinking ‘How many games am I going to play?’ Because when Sesko comes back, he's probably going to be the main No. 9 that they've got in their squad. So it's a really difficult one for him.”

Is Carlos Baleba still worth £110 million? Should Brighton have sold last summer? Dickov said: “I didn't really think he was worth £110 million in the summer, really, but he's a wonderful player. He's still a very young boy. Sometimes with the speculation and the pressure surrounding him in the summer, it can affect players. You know, the last couple of games, he has been better, but he has struggled this season.

“That could be the pressure that's been put on him. Sometimes the price tag, that talk of going to clubs like United, Chelsea or wherever it may be, it can affect you.

“I think what he's got to do is, first and foremost, concentrate on himself and try to get his form back to somewhere where it was because he was outstanding last season. If he can do that, there's going to be a lot of clubs that are going to come back knocking. But I'm not quite too sure about £110 million.”
