Former Manchester United striker Henrik Larsson is being linked with a return to England.

The Daily Mail says he has emerged as a target for Southend United.

The League One side want to bring in the Swedish icon to replace Kevin Bond.

The Shrimps side have been without a manager for two weeks.

They remain winless this season in the league and lost 4-3 at Shrewsbury last night.

They've lost seven and drawn one of their eight games so far this campaign.

Larsson quit as Helsingborgs boss last month over the alleged level of "verbal insults" he received.
