Henrik Larsson has confirmed he will join Manchester United on loan from Helsingborg from January 1.

United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is light on strikers with Wayne Rooney and Louis Saha supported by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Ferguson has confirmed Larsson will be joining the Red Devils on a three-month loan.

Larsson added: ‘I know the players [at Manchester United]. They are really good players. I have played against many of them, so it’s not a new thing. I hope the situation will be easier, knowing the faces and names.

‘I will go over there to play as much as possible - but I have no idea of how Ferguson wants to use me.

‘We will see how much playing time there will be. Am I a back-up? Yes, at the beginning. Then you will see what I can contribute and how things are going. We have not discussed a jersey number at all. We will see what it will be.’
