Boss: Larsson is a great deal
Sir Alex Ferguson says the signing of Henrik Larsson on loan is a "terrific boost" to the club.
The Reds have agreed a temporary deal for the 35-year-old's services with Swedish club Helsingborgs. He will be able to play from 1 January 2007, with the deal running until 12 March. Sir Alex has ruled out extending the deal as Helsingborgs resume their season in the middle of March, but he described it as "a terrific bit of business for us".
"It's a real boost," declared the United boss. "Henrik has great pedigree and character. He also has goalscoring ability. We're very pleased. He can play anywhere along the front line, he’s an intelligent player and he can score goals."
Larsson will fly into Manchester on 17 December and train with United in the following week. He'll go home to Sweden for Christmas and then return in January.
“It’s a good bit of business for us," added Sir Alex. "He can change games as he showed in the Champions League final. I think he won that game for Barcelona.”
Sir Alex didn’t move for Larsson when he left Barcelona because "we were under the impression he wanted to go back to Sweden." But when January transfers were discussed, his name came to the fore.
“Jim Lawler, our chief scout, worked with Stuart Baxter (Helsingborgs coach) in South Africa, so it was an easy contact. Jim mentioned the possibility of trying to get Henrik in during Sweden's winter break. Stuart referred us to the board, and we’ve been working on it for a month now. We’re very pleased they've agreed to let him come here.” |
