Ruud tips Saha for greatness
-
Dutch legend Ruud Gullit says United striker Louis Saha can become one of United's 'greatest strikers'.
The French forward, who has taken over from prolific finisher Ruud van Nistelrooy as United's main striker, scored twice as the Reds ran out 3-2 winners against Celtic at Old Trafford on Wednesday.
The 28-year-old admitted he should have scored a hat-trick on his first start in the Champions League start since 2004, but his goals helped put United top of Group F after the opening round of games.
Gullit took Saha to Newcastle on loan from Metz during his time as manager on Tyneside. And the legendary Oranje star says the 28-year-old has come on in leaps and bounds since his spell with the Magpies.
"He was a great prospect at the time," Gullit told Sky Sports. "But it is incredible how much he has developed at United. He plays for the national team with the likes of Thierry Henry and David Trezeguet and that tells you about his quality.
"He has the ability to become one of the greatest strikers for United," he added. "He's still improving, but he's much more mature now. And I think that is down to Alex Ferguson, who has helped him improve a lot."

LOUIS SAHA has vowed to gun down Arsenal and keep his red-hot scoring streak going.
Saha boasts four goals in five games for Manchester United and that follows 14 from 20 starts at the end of last season.
The French star, 28, hopes to maintain his form against the Gunners at Old
Trafford on Sunday. He said: “I am enjoying myself. Now for a big game against Arsenal and I want to keep our run going.
“It’s great to be scoring. It gives you extra confidence. I just keep giving 100 per cent, which is what I will continue to do.”
Saha has been backed by his France team-mate Mikael Silvestre to keep scoring and help fill the hole left by the departure of Dutch star Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Silvestre said: “Since he replaced Ruud in the United team, Louis has done well.
“Like all strikers, he thrives on confidence gained by scoring goals. I’m happy for him because he is making the team happy.” -
saha has a lot of pace, skill and is a good finisher too.

Somehow i feel that Saha is fast becoming another Ruud.
His play has become more and more selfish.
But! He has the pace which Ruud lacks and he's hardworking as well.
Cheers.

Bad habit of FC fans.
