During the season, Swedish footballer Henrik Larsson, who joined the leader of the English Premier League, expressed admiration for every moment spent with this team.

The 35-year-old player arrived in England on loan from the Swedish team Helsingborg and quickly established himself in the team, although he only scored his first goal in the Premier League on Wednesday in the match against Watford.

"Knowing my age, I never thought I would have the chance to play again with players of this caliber," said the former pillar of the Swedish national team. "Last summer I went back home to Sweden and was more or less decided not to go anywhere, but when I received an invitation from Manchester, I was a little surprised and pleased. I had been watching those guys on TV for a while, and I just couldn't say no to this offer."

"Now I am here and I am extremely happy about it. There is a great team spirit here, which is very important, and I enjoy every minute I spend on the field," Larsson confirmed.

Asked about his relationship with the young team stars Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo, the Swede replied that these players were among the main factors that led to his arrival in England.

"I have always said and will continue to say that it is easy to play with good players, and they are exactly that," the experienced footballer complimented. "It's scary to think that they can become even better, because right now both of them are playing at a very high level. These players can become as good as they want to be."
