Fergie in SOS plea to Saha
Louis Saha will answer Manchester United’s SOS for goals by returning to action against Spurs. Saha has not started a game for the Red Devils since 24 February, scoring in a 3-2 win over Reading. Knee problems have blighted his time at United but he has a healthy goalscoring record. United were set to sell him at the end of last season but more injury problems put paid to that. Now Saha, 29, wants to resurrect his Old Trafford career, starting against Tottenham on Sunday.
The French striker has been training at full pelt for 10 days and was close to being called up to the bench for Sunday’s Manchester derby at Eastlands, which United lost 1-0. With goals hard to come by, boss Alex Ferguson will now throw him straight into the action.

Elsewhere, the tabloids are all reporting on Gabriel Heinze's Premier League hearing, which concluded yesterday that United have no obligation to sell the defender to rivals Liverpool. The Mirror quote Heinze as admitting he must "consider that my stay at United is over".
The Sun claim West Ham have made a "sneaky" inquiry about Heinze, which the publication believe Sir Alex may pursue. The manager has a good relationship with Hammers boss Alan Curbishley.
Edwin van der Sar was reportedly injured last night while training with the Dutch national team. The Mirror say the United goalkeeper landed awkwardly and hurt his left leg. It's not known if the injury is likely to keep him out of this Sunday's match against Tottenham.
