LARSSON'S CHUFFED

Larsson on his loan spell so far.

'At my age, I didn't think I would get the chance to play with players of this calibre again,' he said.

'I moved back home to Sweden last summer and more or less decided I did not want to go anywhere else, so when United came in for me it was a bit surprising and very flattering.

'I have been watching these guys on TV for quite a while and I just could not say no.

'Now I am here, I am enjoying it immensely. There is a great team spirit, which is so important, and I am loving every minute I get on the pitch.'

He's also enjoying the experience of playing with Ronaldo and Rooney. On his goal on Wednesday he said: 'It was a great ball,' said Larsson.

'I thought Wayne was going to hit it - but at the last second, he slid the ball through. I got a good first touch and I just managed to push it past the goalkeeper.'

'I have always said it is easy to play with great players - and they are great players,' he said.

'It's frightening to think they can only get better, because both are already up at such a high level.'It is up to them how good they want to be - there is no limit.'
