Henrik Larsson: I regret not staying at Manchester United for longer

Henrik Larsson says the only regret he has in his career is not staying at Manchester United for longer than his two-month loan spell with the club.

Sweden legend Larsson joined United from Helsingborgs in January 2007 before returning back to the Swedish outfit in March of that year.

In that time, the former Celtic and Barcelona striker scored three goals in 13 appearances, with the Red Devils going on to win the Premier League title by six points that season.

"That's the only regret I have in my career," Larsson told FourFourTwo. "I should have stayed, as it would have meant I got a Premier League winners' medal, and I would have stayed for one more season.

"But I still had a contract with Helsingborgs and I feel that when you sign a contract, you have to see it out.

"Everything was professional at Manchester United. When I had to attend a christening for my brother's children, the club ordered a plane to take me there after a match. United really take care of all their players."
