Henrik Larsson shares a heartwarming Sir Alex Ferguson tale that is just one of many fond memories that the Swede made at Manchester United.
The Swedish striker, Henrik Larsson arrived at Old Trafford for a loan spell so his time was short. He joined the club back in January 2007 and was on his way out in March of the same year.
Despite only spending 10 weeks with the team Larsson made a ton of memories with the team. He also helped them on the pitch recording three goals in 13 appearances.
Recently while speaking to The Guardian, he shared a tale about Sir Alex Ferguson which goes to show just how much he cared about his Red Devils. Let’s have a look at what the Swede had to say.
“When I joined Manchester United, my brother Kim had a christening for one of his boys,”
“I asked Sir Alex if it was possible. He arranged a private jet for me to get home after a game.”
Larsson added that he felt extremely welcome with the Red Devils despite only being there for a total of 10 weeks. Sir Alex was a major part of his welcome reception but he wasn’t the only one doing nice things for the Swede.
Larsson recalled that Louis Saha, Patrice Evra, and Wayne Rooney used to treat him to lunch at times. He saw that the team cared for him and that made him care for about their success.
For all we know, this culture of care and nurturement could’ve been a major factor behind Sir Alex’s success at Old Trafford.

Erik ten Hag’s regime has been pushing discipline. Maybe the Dutchman could learn from Sir Alex Ferguson and Henrik Larsson. A little more freedom for his team could pay off with results on the pitch.
