Since being chosen over Ruud van Nistelrooy, Louis Saha has done a good job for Manchester United. He currently has goals six in the Premiership, and nine goals in Europe to his name. That’s nine goals in sixteen games, and on top of that, two goals in two games for France. He really has hit some great form, and Ferguson’s decission to offload a disgruntled Ruud has paid.
However, there still is some improvement to be done. He has a similar style to Andy Cole, in that he often needs a few decent chances before he’ll score. He also recently missed a penalty against Celtic. With Solskjaer missing a few weeks with injury, and Rossi on loan to Newcastle, he currently has no rivalry for his place.
It has been announced today that United are going to sign on loan the former Celtic and Barcelona man, Henrik Larsson. He is set to move in January, and stay for three months.
He didn’t make too much of an impact on Barcelona, aside from his substitute appearance in the Champions League final, his last game for the Spanish giants. He provided both the equalising and winning goal.
In his time at Celtic, he managed to score a whopping 174 goals in 221 appearances.
It is highly unlikely he will be a starting player for United, but definately will provide them with some attacking options from the bench, which is something they have lacked all season. His move also puts the pressure on Louis Saha to continue performing and putting the goals away.
Will he be a success? Leave your comments below.
Larsson can only be a success at Man U! His inmpecable record says everything. Not only has one of the most experienced managers in the world just signed a 35 year old, but he has truley signed a superstar that will help them win the league.
Is he ever going to stop!!!!
i hope not!!!!
