Louis Saha feels the arrival of Henrik Larsson will bring a
healthy battle for places in the striking department which the
Frenchman believes will benefit the team in the long run
The Swedish striker, who has signed on loan for two and a half
months, will be at Upton Park on Sunday to watch his new team-mates
in action against West Ham.
He will then begin training with United before returning to Sweden
for Christmas. He is free to play from 1 January, with his first
game in a red shirt likely to be against his former manager Martin
O'Neill when the Reds entertain Aston Villa in the FA Cup third
round at Old Trafford on 7 January.
Saha, who netted his 12th goal of the season in the 3-1 win over
Manchester City, is excited by the 35-year-old's arrival and is
confident he'll chip in with his fair share of goals.
"Any new signing is a threat to every player in the squad but
competition is always good for the team," he told United Review.
"Itll be a great feeling to play with a player like Henrik. He can
score all types of goals and Im confident hell do that for
United.
"I think its a very clever move by the manager and a great deal
for the club. Henrik has great experience of scoring goals and Ill
be watching him closely when he starts training with us.
"He knows what positions to run into and where he can cause
problems for the opposition and I think hell fit into the team
really well.
"Its a bit of a shame that he is only coming for a couple of
months but you never know what might happen!" added Saha.
