News about Louis Saha

Former Man United striker Louis Saha has tipped a Manchester United youngster to become the club's next Paul Scholes.   The legendary midfielder is renowned as being one of the Premier League's greatest ever midfielders, with the 49-year-old winning 11 Premier League titles and two Champions Leagues during his glittering Old Trafford career.  Widely regarded as the 'complete midfielder', Scholes has earned the plaudits of some of the game's greats, with Zinedine Zidane once claiming he was one of the most difficult opponents he ever came up against. 

While not playing, some of elite football's most unassuming stars have earned fortunes that rival that of galacticos like Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe by making smart investments when not playing. These are football's richest stars, from high stakes poker to biochemistry empires.

Rasmus Hojlund, a Manchester United striker, has been advised to 'do more' after getting off to a rocky start to life in the Premier League following his £72 million transfer from Atalanta. Hojlund has been United's best player in their dismal Champions League debut to date, scoring five goals in four matches, but he has yet to score in nine Premier League outings. After only seeing the net 13 times in 12 games, the Red Devils are the lowest scorers in the top half by a long shot.

As Erik ten Hag's side's miserable start to the season continues, Mason Mount has been accused of avoiding the ball and not taking responsibility on the field for Manchester United. After being made a top priority for Ten Hag, the former Chelsea star arrived at Old Trafford on a £60 million contract, but the Chelsea star has failed to meet the price tag this term. He is certainly not the only one, with United struggling to put together any semblance of form so far, and losing their last two games by three goals to nil in front of their home crowd.

Saha has written a glowing review of the defensive midfielder, who caught eyeballs with his spectacular results as Morocco surged to the Qatar World Cup semi-finals in December. United was keen to sign him in January, but his Serie A employers were reluctant to let him go.

OLIVER HOLT AT WEMBLEY – MAN CITY UNITED MAN CITY UNITED. A few minutes before kick-off, a familiar figure sporting a smart suit and an air of insecurity undimmed by age took hold of one of the FA Cup and carried it out to the Wembley pitch with Manchester City legend Mike Summerbee. Sir Alex Ferguson walks with a slight stoop now, but after he and Summerbee carefully placed the trophy on a plinth, he turned to the Manchester United supporters at one end of the stadium, raised both fists in the air and shaken them with all the rage and excitement of old. It was a call to arms from United's great boss, the architect of the Treble of a quarter-century ago, to Erik ten Hag's players, imploring them to take this opportunity to prevent the city's new blue empire from surpassing their record.

The 2022-23 Premier League season came to an end on Sunday, marking the end of yet another entertaining season. Southampton, Leeds, and Leicester were all relegated, with Everton surviving by the skin of their teeth on the final day. Although Manchester City retained the trophy (again) after dragging behind long-serving leaders and dark horses Arsenal. Newcastle and Manchester United rounded out the top four, with Liverpool, Brighton, and Aston Villa all qualifying for Europe, with Chelsea's disappointing finish below Crystal Palace despite spending more than £600 million. And above, Mail Sport's writers have selected their favorite, sad, and amusing scenes from the huge collection of the best, sad, and amusing events in the English top-flight over the last nine months.

For a shorter glimpse, a former Man United fan shed his trademark long locks for a shorter look. A group of United players teamed up in August for a Masters match, and fans would have been able to distinguish Louis Saha, John O'Shea, and Wes Brown, another in a snapshot from the event that looked strikingly different than in his playing days.

Mbappé, like many French footballing wonderkids, learned his trade at Clairefontaine, France's national factory for producing actors. When Mbappé arrived, he was already recognised as a future star of world football at just 12 years old (pictured left). Clairefontaine, the factory where French football is made, nestled in the sprawling Rambouillet forest, just an hour southwest of Paris. Hundreds of football pitches surround Montjoye Castle, which is a restored 17th-century mansion with five-star facilities. As they refined their stills in recent years, the training base has played host to legends like Thierry Henry and Louis Saha. Each year, France's national football academy selects only 23 young boys under the age of 13. From a crowd of 1,600 people auditioned for a converted space in the scheme, those chosen will spend the next two years honing and designing their craft.

Rio Ferdinand lauded Louis Saha after his debut as a Sky Sports analyst, claiming that the French striker was one of the most difficult opponents to face in training. Saha spent four years at Manchester United between 2004 and 2008, where he came up against defender Ferdinand day after day on the training pitch. The 44-year-old striker, who has since retired from football, was a talking head for Sky's coverage of the Red Devils' vs. West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

Cristiano Ronaldo's friendship with former Man United colleague Gary Neville may have been terminated, according to Rio Ferdinand, who's on-air snub prior to the game against West Ham on Sunday. Louis Saha and Jamie Redknapp shook hands with Louis Saha and Jamie Redknapp, but the five-time Champions League champion's ex-teammate was left waiting for a handshake that would never arrive.

Ronaldo dismissed Neville but spoke with Sky Sports' coverage of the game at Old Trafford, talking to his fellow pundits Louis Saha and Jamie Redknapp. In recent weeks, Neville has been a vocal critic of the Portuguese star, who refused to appear as a replacement in United's 2-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. Neville said United will be "better without" Ronaldo and that the Premier League titans should'end their friendship' with him, prompting the United forward to give his ex-teammate the cold shoulder live on television.

In a discussion about three decades of the new top flight, Gary Neville has named Michael Essien and Louis Saha as his most underrated Premier League players. Neville, a former Manchester United defender, named the pair, as well as former Red Devil Saha, as the ones who made him remember about the unsung heroes he encountered while playing. Essien spent eight years at Chelsea, playing in a packed Blues midfield alongside players like Frank Lampard in his time in Stamford Bridge, where he gained two Premier League titles.

Erik ten Hag must be perplexed. How did Manchester United begin the season without a recognised centre forward? United's worrying lack of depth in attack was revealed as they lost to Brighton, with Anthony Martial injured and Cristiano Ronaldo only available enough to start on the bench. They've been mocked for it, but it's no surprise that they're after Marko Arnautovic (bottom right) to provide cover. They've had a number of back-up strikers, including Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (left), Teddy Sheringham (left), Henrik Larsson (bottom left), and Zlatan Ibrahimovic (bottom) have all been outstanding, but David Bellion (right), Dong Fangzhou and Mame Biram Diouf (right main) are now long forgotten.

Who would have thought Old Trafford would be the scene of the most ridiculous piece of Bargain Hunt scavenging football has seen for many a season?
