Saha: I Won’t Quit…
Sky: Louis Saha insists he has no plans to quit Manchester United.
The French striker’s future has been the subject of speculation in recent weeks with Lyon admitting they would be interested in the player.
Reports have suggested United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is looking for a new striker as he grows increasingly frustrated with his injury problems.
Barcelona ace Samuel Eto’o is believed to be a transfer target for United and should a new striker arrive at Old Trafford over the summer it will raise a question mark over Saha’s future.
However, Saha is not worried about any increased competition for places in the United side and he has played down rumours linking him Lyon.
“I want to stay,” Saha told L’Equipe. I have just won my first title with Manchester United and it is really great.
“I want so much to win other titles with the club.
“Interest from other clubs? I don’t know anything. I love my club and I don’t want to leave it.
“If they are saying other good strikers are coming to United I find that good, if that helps us defend our title and win others next year.”
Should Lyon fail to lure Saha back to France they are drawing up a list of alternatives to bolster their attack.
The French champions are believed to be keeping tabs on West Ham’s Carlos Tevez, Bayern Munich’s Roy Makaay and Milan forward Alberto Gilardino.
Makaay could be the best option for Lyon as the Dutchman looks likely to leave Bayern in the summer with the German club planning a major rebuilding plan after a disappointing season this term.
