Manchester United striker Louis Saha has agreed an extension to his
current contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until
2010.
The former Fulham striker has played a key part in United's rise to
the top of the Premiership table this term and to the last 16 of
the Champions League, and is delighted to extend his stay with Sir
Alex Ferguson's side.
"It's great news," the France international told United's official
website.
"I'm really enjoying my time here and I wanted to show my
commitment to Manchester United, but also repay the faith that Sir
Alex has shown in me.
"Hopefully we will have an exciting end to the season and add some
silverware to the trophy room."
Ferguson added: "We're happy to see Louis here until at least 2010
and to add him to the other players who have recently signed new
contracts like Cristiano (Ronaldo) and Wayne (Rooney), but also to
the new additions such as Patrice (Evra) and Nemanja (Vidic). It
bodes well for the future.
"We address the situation of players' contracts now and then in
order to strengthen the club and it's great to add Louis to the
list. Louis' form has been fantastic since he's come back from
injury and he's scored 26 goals in that time."
Saha has scored 36 goals in 87 appearances for United since his
£12.8million transfer from Fulham almost three years ago.
