Ex-Liverpool boss Houllier backtracks on Henry's NYRB career being over

Red Bull's Head of Global Football Gerard Houllier has backtracked his comments regarding Thierry Henry's future at the club.

The former Liverpool manager told France Football last week that the Arsenal great would not be playing for the New York Red Bulls in 2015, saying: "He was planning on ending his career.

"It's possible that these are his last matches. Perhaps the desire [to play] will tickle him and he'll retire somewhere else, but it won't be with the Red Bulls."

But Houllier spoke to L'Equipe on Saturday and suggested that 37-year old Frenchman Henry "In fact, no decision has been made," Houllier said regarding his fellow countryman.

"For now, Thierry is with the Red Bulls."

The article then added that Henry could soon agree a one-year deal with the MLS outfit who he joined from Barcelona in 2010.
