Phil Brown believes Steve Bruce could convince Danny Welbeck to swap Manchester United for Hull City.

The England striker looks likely to be surplus to requirements as Louis van Gaal sets about re-shaping his squad, and Hull are one of a number of clubs interested in signing him.

And former Tigers boss Brown thinks it’s a move that could happen.

“It’s not beyond the realms of possibility,” he told the Weekend Sports Breakfast. “The way Steve plays, any player would be attracted to that style of play. And Welbeck would be a great acquisition for any Premier League club.

“The perception of Hull has changed over the past few years. The brand has changed. But if he does get Welbeck, it will be down to the manager.”
