LARSSON LOOKING FORWARD TO UNITED'S VISIT
Former Manchester United striker Henrik Larsson is keen to see more of Jose Mourinho's new-look side, starting with Saturday's match in Gothenburg against Galatasaray.
The Reds face the Turkish giants in Sweden on the concluding leg of Tour 2016, presented by Aon, and Larsson will keep abreast of the action despite his commitments as manager of Helsingborgs.
"United are big here, as they've always been," he told ManUtd.com. "It’s in Gothenburg and I was at the game when United played Barcelona there a few years back. There were a lot of spectators then and I expect it’s going to be the same again this time around.
"I still try to watch United as much as I can, whenever it doesn’t clash with one of my own games here. I definitely try to watch as much as I can."
Marcus Rashford is likely to be involved in Sweden after his substitute appearance against Borussia Dortmund in Shanghai and Larsson, who played 13 games on loan for United in 2006/07, is keen to see how the young forward develops following his fairytale breakthrough season.
"I’ve seen a little bit of Marcus Rashford and he looks exciting," enthused the former Red. "It is just a question of bringing him from talented prospect to a fully-fledged star."
Larsson's son Jordan is a few months older than Rashford and the 19-year-old Helsingborgs prospect is another forward who appears to have a bright future.
"I think he's doing okay," explained Larsson Snr. "He's been scoring some goals for us and is developing in the right direction so that's good.
"I enjoy what I’m working with at Helsingborgs. It’s challenging, it’s fun and it’s frustrating sometimes because you want to win as much as possible. We haven’t been able to win that much at the moment but we’re looking to bounce back and make all of the Helsingborgs supporters proud."
