Ferguson Squashes Saha Links

Sir Alex Ferguson has sent a clear 'not for sale' message out to clubs including Everton and Fulham who are interested in signing striker Louis Saha on a season-long loan.

Ruud van Nistelrooy has reiterated his intentions to stay at Old Trafford despite tempting links to La Liga giants Barcelona and Real

Ferguson still sees the injury plagued Frenchman as an asset to his squad despite not making the impact expected since his £12 million move from Fulham, who are keen to resign the 26-year-old.

"There is no chance of Louis Saha going," confirmed the Scotsman. "All these clubs are asking about a loan for him but that is absolutely ridiculous. They must think we're stupid.

"You just want him to be fit. His career here has been fragmented because of injury but, if he stays fit, you can add another 15 goals easily to our tally."
