Fergie rules out Larsson return

ALEX FERGUSON is set to limit his January recruitment campaign to one African striker, after ruling out another move for Henrik Larsson.

The veteran Swede was a spectacular success after joining Manchester United on a short-term loan 12 months ago, scoring three goals in 13 appearances at a time when Ferguson was struggling for numbers.

With Tottenham’s Dimitar Berbatov not for sale and doubts still surrounding the long-term fitness of Louis Saha, speculation about a renewed bid for Larsson had started to surface.
