Larsson enjoys United debut

Henrik Larsson was pleased to mark his Man Utd debut with a goal in the FA Cup.

Henrik Larsson was pleased to mark his Manchester United debut with a goal in the FA Cup win over Aston Villa.

The loan signing from Helsingborgs was handed his first start in United colours and responded with the opening goal in the 2-1 success at Old Trafford.

Larsson was happy for the opportunity to don a Red Devils shirt and quickly shrugged off any pre-match nerves.

"It was great to play for the first time here in a competitive game," Larsson told Sky Sports News. "Playing with those kind of players is fantastic.

"I felt great when I put it (shirt) on today.

"You are always nervous when you start somewhere, but as soon as I went out there and saw the crowd and started playing, it all went off me.

"I had in the first half two chances, especially one where I should have done better.

"I got a chance in the second half and I was pleased to see it go in."

Though Larsson started on his debut, he is aware of the competition provided from match-winner Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and the soon-to-be-fit Louis Saha.

He added: "It's quality players all over the squad. It's going to be difficult, so we'll have to wait and see.

"For me, it's a bonus being here for three months at my age, 35. Taking part in this is fantastic and I'm going to enjoy every minute I get."
