Former Manchester United and Celtic striker Henrik Larsson has announced his retirement plans.

Larsson intends to hang up the boots at the end of this season.

Helsingborg's director of sport Jesper Jansson told hif.se: "We at HIF had obviously hoped Sweden's greatest player down the years would play on for another season.

"But we respect Henrik's decision and are incredibly grateful for everything he has done and proud to have been a part of his fantastic career."

Larsson has been a prolific striker throughout his career, scoring over 300 goals during spells with Feyenoord, Barcelona, Celtic, Manchester United and Helsingborg.

He was also capped 106 times by Sweden, netting 37 times.

Larsson's final game for Helsingborg will be the Allsvenska clash at Elfsborg on November 1.
