Welbeck scored his first goal for the Red Devils on 15 November, with a beautiful shot from outside the area, in the 5-1 rout against Stoke City, valid for the Premier League.

He made his debut two weeks later, coming on as a substitute for Leandro Trossard in a 2–1 away defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. He made his first start five days later, playing 86 minutes of a 0–0 home draw against fellow Premier League side Burnley. On 21 November 2020, Welbeck scored his first Brighton goal in a 2–1 away win over Aston Villa. In his first appearance in front of Albion fans, during the brief period in December when fans were allowed to attend, Welbeck scored his first home goal for the Seagulls on 20 December, an 87th-minute equaliser in a 1–1 draw against Sheffield United. On 4 April 2021, he scored against former boyhood club Manchester United at Old Trafford, putting the Seagulls ahead, however, they lost 2–1.
