Former Manchester United striker Henrik Larsson says he didn't see football management as an option until he turned 30.

"I didn't think I'd love it as much as I do," the Swede told Lee James.

Now manager of Helsingborgs IF in the Swedish top flight, Larsson, who also played for Celtic and Barcelona, believes it's easier now for Swedes to become professional footballers abroad.

"You had to be very good," he said. "Now it's enough to be average because you always get a chance."
