It all started with a tweet.
“Welbz is dat guy”, tweeted Danny Welbeck's former Manchester United team-mate Ravel Morrison in February 2013.
Since then, Welbeck has frequently been referred to as 'dat guy Welbz', on social media.
But what does “dat guy” actually mean? According to “dat guy” himself, it means whatever you want it to mean, but in a positive twist. Welbeck claims: “It’s just a Manchester phrase [Welbeck and Morrison are both from the area] that seems similar to calling someone “the man”, in a positive way”.
When quizzed further in Manchester United's match day programme about the origins of his moniker, 'Dat guy Welbz' said: "Ravel is too much! In Manchester where we both grew up, it’s sort of a slang term as praise, ‘He’s just that guy.’ That guy could be anything, though. But that’s funny that Rav said that. I’m not on Twitter so I had no idea about it and I’d not seen that before. Rav is dat guy though."
So in that exciting climax, that is why Danny Welbeck is 'dat guy', thanks Ravel.
