Manchester United assistant boss Carlos Queiroz insists Louis Saha is part of their long-term plans.

"We are not pleased with Louis' injury and he is not happy either," said the Portuguese coach.

"But we know he is a great player and what he can deliver. We trust him.

"When Louis was in direct competition with Anelka to get in the France team one or two years ago he was the one in front.

"Louis has had some injuries but he remains one of our best players."
