Ex-Man Utd striker Saha now player agent

Former Manchester United and Fulham star Louis Saha is entering the player agents industry.

Now retired after a distinguished 16-year career that yielded more than 100 first-class goals, the 20-cap France forward has embarked on a new challenge as a football agent.

Working for English company Stellar Group, Saha aims to mentor France's stars of the future.

He said: "I've been looking for players in France and Europe, to make sure they are looked after.

"My way is to make sure they don't make the same mistakes as me and to give them advice on the pitch.

"Along the way you have to make mistakes, you have to take some time and learn, that's part of the process.

"What I want to make sure is that youngsters understand the new direction football is taking, new technology seems to put more pressure on them, so to make them aware of that, and to try to teach them a proper example.

"And also I'm scouting for real talent."
