Rotation the name of the game, claims Larsson

MANCHESTER UNITED are only now beginning to feel the full benefit of having such a strong squad, according to on-loan striker Henrik Larsson.

The 35-year-old Swede was drafted in last month to assist the Barclays Premiership leaders’ three-pronged assault on silverware and is scheduled to return to parent club Helsingborg in March.

Larsson has lightened the load of fellow forwards Wayne Rooney, Louis Saha and Ole Gunnar Solsjkaer at Old Trafford and believes the forthcoming fixture logjam will see all the club’s fringe players play crucial roles.
