Saha Hopes Move Will Bring French Call-Up
Manchester United's latest signing Louis Saha hopes his move to Old Trafford will help his chances of getting a call-up to the French national squad.

Saha is yet to be capped for his country, but has represented France at youth level. The 25-year-old hopes his performances for United will give him the chance to represent France defend the European Championships in Portugal later this year.

"Coming to this club will help me get noticed and, provided I can put my head down and force my way into the first team, I have a chance of going to the European Championship in Portugal." said Saha.

"Being a Manchester United player, does not guarantee you a place in your national squad, but it gives you a much better chance than if you're with Fulham."
