O'Neill denies Larsson is target
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill rubbish reports linking him with a move for former Manchester United and Celtic striker Henrik Larsson.
Larsson, 37, is a free agent after his contract with Helsingborgs over, but O'Neill told BBC WM he will not be coming to Villa Park.
"There is not an ounce of truth. I had a great time with him at Celtic and is a world class attacker," he said.
"It is a great goal scorer, but there was no truth in him."
The former Swedish international has spent seven years with Celtic Score and 173 goals in 221 league appearances before moving to Barcelona in May 2004.
In brief, but successful loan spell with Manchester United followed in early 2007 before returning to Sweden and O'Neill said he never had the slightest doubt his former attacker would have an impact where it was going.
"It goes to Barcelona and UEFA Cup wins and just when you thought I could have given all this, he goes to Manchester United and wonderfully made.
"It is wonderful, wonderful football," said O'Neill.
