Henrik Larsson's only regret in his career: not staying longer at Manchester United

Swedish legend Henrik Larsson regrets not staying longer at Manchester United.
Although he only scored three goals in 13 matches, the now 39-year-old Swede made a significant impact on the Red Devils' performances during a difficult period of the season and ended the campaign with a title medal after special dispensation was granted by the Premier League.
Yet he also ended the season back home in Sweden, having refused to go back on an agreement to return to Helsingborgs for the start of their domestic programme.
"If there is one regret I have from my career, it is that I came home to Sweden when Mr Ferguson was trying to get me to stay at Manchester United," Larsson told FIFA's website.
"I should have stayed at United for longer because I had a great time there and everyone at the club was very keen to keep me. My time there was too short.
"The whole experience was fantastic and, although I was 35 at the time, I still felt that I had some good football in me. That is a regret."
