Saha eyes Man Utd move

Man Utd 'target Saha'

Fulham striker Louis Saha has admitted he wants to leave the club and join Manchester United when the transfer window opens in January.

Boss Chris Coleman has already urged Saha to sign a new contract with Fulham, but the French striker has made up his mind.

"I cannot say no - United is my dream and I want to go there," Saha was quoted as saying in The Sun newspaper.

"It's now Sir Alex Ferguson who needs a striker," Saha added.

"In six months the facts of the matter will have changed."

Saha also admitted he was sympathetic to Coleman's position.

"I understand the position of the manager, but this is an opportunity I cannot let go by," he added.

Coleman has already reacted to the increasing speculation linking Saha, who has scored 10 goals this season, with a January move to United.

"You would expect this kind of speculation because Louis is a top player and he is banging the goals in. But he is not going anywhere," said Coleman.

"He is very important to us and he is very happy here and wants to stay.

"He has two years left on his contract anyway after the end of this season, but we want to offer him a new deal.

"I have spoken to Louis already myself. We have yet to talk to his agent, but all the signs are good."
