He managed over 100 goal contributions in the league. For United, he averaged just less than a goal contribution every other game. So he knows what it takes to be a top striker at this level. <\/p>\n<p>Recently he spoke to Get Italian Football News, via BetSelect, and shared his thoughts about Rasmus H\u00f8jlund and Bryan Mbeumo. When asked about whether H\u00f8jlund had it in him to be the striker for United after a disappointing season, Saha said, \u201cI\u2019m a fan of his dedication \u2013 he wants to work hard, he wants to do well. But he lacks some qualities to be able to play on his own. He should have been supported by a Harry Kane \u2013 a player who can show him how to do it. He hasn\u2019t played with the right players around him, so it\u2019s difficult. When I came in, I was playing with Van Nistelrooy.<\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cH\u00f8jlund could be alongside a player, one of our new signings. I think he could be part of the squad and contribute. If he starts, he starts, and if he does, then he needs to score because there is another one on the bench who is able to take his place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Saha who has played for both Spurs and United was also asked to choose a destination for Brentford\u2019s Mbeumo, who is reportedly wanted by both teams. \u201cAs a Manchester United fan, it\u2019s an obvious answer for me. But I\u2019m biased. You have a club that is going to play the Champions League, which won a trophy last year. I can see the attraction. But United want to rebuild with really top players, and Mbeumo fits the bill. He can really enjoy a new era at Manchester United. With no disrespect, I still feel that Manchester United is a much bigger club and can return to Champions League football soon\u201d, Saha said. <\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, under pressure United manager Ruben Amorim seems to have Saha\u2019s trust too, as he stated that the manager has the right approach and can improve the Red Devils\u2019 players and make them a Champions League club in one or two years again. <\/p>\n<p>Kaulik Mitra | GIFN<\/p>\n<p><!-- Ezoic - wp_under_page_title - under_page_title --><!-- End Ezoic - wp_under_page_title - under_page_title --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getfootballnewsitaly.com\/2025\/hojlund-hasnt-played-with-the-right-players-around-him-says-former-manchester-united-striker-louis-saha\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1 Louis Saha enjoyed a fantastic Premier League career where he played for Fulham, Newcastle, Sunderland, Manchester United, Spurs and Everton.
