if saha doesnt get a good reception it would be a disgrace, for gods sake he has been injured, and he hasnt given up, he really wants to make a comeback and how would u feel if u came onto the pitch after giving everything you have on trainings and rehab and then getting a bad reception... I'm not so sure he's really been wanting to make a comeback to be honest. u must be joking me right? i mean who on the world who plays football wouldnt be dying to make a comeback? |

Sir Alex Ferguson expects Louis Saha to be involved in Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash with Sunderland at Old Trafford.
The French striker was pencilled in to play some part against Tottenham last weekend, only to be left out of the final 16-man squad. After another intensive week of training, however, Sir Alex has revealed that he should feature against Roy Keane's Black Cats.
"Louis is such an important player for us," Sir Alex told his pre-match press conference. "I don't think he'll start, but he can be a very important player if he comes on. He gives us another option, there needs to be more of a cutting edge about our game."
The 29-year-old striker has not appeared for United since a substitute cameo in May's defeat to AC Milan, and has been recuperating from a knee injury all summer.
Fellow injury victim Anderson could also feature on Saturday, having trained after suffering a hamstring strain earlier this month.
The Brazilian could make his United debut after arriving in a summer transfer from Porto, and he has impressed his new manager with his commitment to succeeding in England.
"I'm really pleased with Anderson's development over the last couple of weeks in terms of his training," said Sir Alex, who also confirmed that Gary Neville will not be fit in time for Saturday's match.
It'll be Roy Keane's first visit to Old Trafford as a manager having steered the Black Cats to the Championship crown last season. Still worshipped
by United fans following his 12-year career with the Reds, Sir Alex fully expects the former skipper to be granted a special welcome on Saturday.
"He'll get a great reception," insisted the boss. "That's one of the things that makes me so proud to be manager of this football club. The reception our fans give to former players who come back to Old Trafford, both as a player and a manager, tells you what a great club we are.
"You only need to look at the ovations they've given Bryan Robson, Andy Cole, Teddy Sheringham, Mark Hughes and Steve Bruce, it'll be the same for Roy on Saturday."

If he had really wanted to make a comeback he would have done long ago. I like the guy, but if he had really wanted to play towards the end of last season I'm pretty sure he could have done to be honest. |

yes but the injury to knee stopped him. Earlier in the year it was his ankle keeping him out. Why the hell would be be 100% fit and not want to play?
Anyway... I hope he features, we need him atm and we'll need him throughout this entire campaign. Hopefully this match can act as a catalyst for us.

I think fergie said towards the end of last season that Louis has to be right mentally before he can make his comeback, it's more mental than physical |

Like to see a convincing win and I think we will.
Keano bound to be defensive but hopefully with the class we have we should break them down. Our Midfield should be no match for them and with some good distribution the goals should come. Love to see Saha score and silence his critics and hope he can now stay injury free other wise its got to be "Taxi for Saha, Bye". Great if Tevez scoes also.

I watched Sunderland play Liverpool (with no Gerrard) last week and they did look a division apart. I'm expecting them to play a goalkeeper and ten centre-backs today. I'd liket to think we'll get an early goal and at least see a bit of a game, but I bet that's exactly what Keano doesn't want to see. So...
1 - 0
Saha penalty!
