Well anyone that reads this blog, knows I am a non believer in Louis Saha. So to see Henrik Larsson join Man United on loan really makes me happy!
2 games in and for me he’s been an instant success, exactly what United need from a front man. His link up play with Rooney in his debut was brilliant, if only Wayne Rooney was on form, it could have been one of the best displays from front men for United since the Cole and Yorke era.
So what does he bring to the team that Saha doesn’t?
Well he has a huge amount of desire, he’s constantly running trying to get into positions for people to play him in. He can hold the ball up, everytim he receives the ball, he’s not thinking of having a shot on goal, his awareness makes him be alwyas on the look out for what play will be best for the team.
I’m so happy, I just hope we can hold on to him after March!
Personally, I hope he becomes available to buy and Liverpool jump in and grab him at the last second. Then we can offload Fowler to Utd to stop them whinging. :p
