Gabriel Heinze expects new signing Henrik Larsson to be a
valuable addition to the Manchester United squad.
Larsson has signed a 10-week loan contract at Old Trafford and will
make his debut in Sunday's FA Cup third round tie with Aston
Villa.
His arrival has been welcomed by Argentine full-back Heinze, who
admits to being a huge fan of the veteran Swedish striker.
And Heinze also believes Larsson can prove to be a role model to
the younger members of the United squad during his stay.
"If you are a bright young player you can learn from Henrik
Larsson," Heinze told MUTV.
"He is one of my favourite players in the sense of what he has
achieved, not just in Spain, but also at Celtic.
"I think he is a great signing for us and will do really well
here.
"He has not been a success for no reason. Larsson has been
excellent wherever he has gone and done well wherever he has
played.
"I saw him a lot at Barcelona. He was remarkable there considering
he had come back from a bad injury.
"Yet when he returned he was the same player as before. He was one
of the best forwards in Spain and is going to be a great addition
to our squad."
