Patient Saha hails Reds

Louis Saha admits he'd like to see United score more goals but emphasised the greater need to continue picking up three points.

"The main concern is always three points," Saha told MUTV after Tuesday night's 1-0 win over AS Roma. "We do want to get back to scoring goals because we are Manchester United and that's what this club is all about, but sometimes the main thing is the result."

Saha, who's been sidelined for much of the year through injury, started his first match for the Reds since an FA Cup run-out in February and said his fitness is improving with every outing.

"I've been waiting for my chance and working hard. Obviously my fitness is getting better all the time, so I'm very pleased."

It was Saha's strike partner, Wayne Rooney, who secured United's win and, with it, extended the Reds' Champions League record to two wins from two games.

"Wayne always seems to score on the big occasions and that's what happened again today," Saha said. "Roma played very well but Wayne settled the game with a great goal. It was an important result because we know it's going to be a tough game away in Kyiv. But six points from two games is fantastic and we took a big step towards qualifying with that win tonight."
