Scholes: Saha could've done more at Man Utd

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes felt Louis Saha could've done more during his time at Old Trafford.

Scholes wrote in the London Evening Standard: "Louis Saha was signed by United in January 2004 and did not quite fulfil his potential. I loved playing with Louis.

"When it comes to the striker-midfielder relationship, the best ones are those in which you know instinctively where the striker wants the ball, and when. I felt Louis and I had that relationship. I could anticipate him, and his movement and strength were very good.

"It was Louis' way that unless he was 100 per cent fit, he did not want to play. It meant that he missed a lot of games for United. Realistically, you play very few games feeling completely free of injuries, aches and pains. When he was on his game he was exceptional. I felt my understanding with Louis was as good as the one I had with Ruud van Nistelrooy. It was a pity we didn't play together more."
