Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is backing former striker Louis Saha to be a success at Everton.

Before yesterday's 1-1 draw at Goodison Park, Ferguson said: "A lot of it [letting Louis go] depended on whether we got Berbatov. We felt that we were going to get him.

"With Louis, he just didn't give us enough football. In those situations, which we've had in the past, players can leave here and continue their career elsewhere and do well. We hope that Louis goes on and does that with Everton."
