Sir Alex Ferguson expressed a desire to have kept Henrik Larsson longer at Manchester United, highlighting the forward's unexpected yet substantial role during his brief two-month loan. Known for his remarkable goal-scoring at Celtic, where he netted 242 times, Larsson also made impactful contributions at Barcelona, including key assists in the 2006 Champions League final. His 13 appearances at United yielded three goals and earned him adoration from fans and teammates, showcasing his enduring talent and the regret of not extending his time at the club.
Larsson came off the bench to set up both of Barcelona's goals against Arsenal in the 2006 Champions League final, and it's fair to say he earned some big praise from Gunners legend Thierry Henry.
Fergie needed some cover up front during the 2006/07 season, and brought Larsson in for just a two-month spell. The veteran forward made 13 appearances in total, scoring three goals.
