Larsson to ManU - A Coup?

Just when rumours were strife that Fergie was planning to sign either Torres, Bent or Defoe in the winter transfer window, Fergie has surprised everyone by signing ex-Celtic legend and former Barca striker Henrik Larsson on loan for a couple of months. This may turn out to be a masterstroke but then the duration of the loan period is not too long. Will Larsson make a big difference at the start of the second half of the season? Will he reproduce the same form that helped Barca win the La Liga and CL titles, even though he will be at OT just for a short period of just of 2 months? Every ManU fan would hope so.
