Ferguson said: “We won’t push it. Helsingborg have been very good with us and we wouldn’t want to put any pressure on them. The season in Sweden starts at the end of March, but I believe they’re going to Spain to prepare for a couple of weeks before, which is the reason for the loan ending on the twelfth.
“Of course, Henrik himself may come to feel he would like to stay on here. If we’re still involved in the FA Cup and the Champions League as well as the Premiership, he may fancy being part of the run-in. I would certainly love to have him, because he’s been brilliant. He has brought more fluency to our movement in forward areas with his intelligent running and his ability to bring others into the play. Great players love to play with other great players and you can see how people like [Wayne] Rooney, [Ryan] Giggs and [Cristiano] Ronaldo have benefited from his presence.”
