Saha plays down pressure

Manchester United striker Louis Saha says he doesn't feel under any added pressure to perform because of the summer exit of Rud van Nistelrooy.
The 28-year-old France international has been handed the unenviable task of replacing goal machine van Nistelrooy, but has responded well with four goals in six outings this season.
Saha told reporters: "Ruud leaving has had no effect on me.
"It has not changed the way I approach games. I still do all the same things. I work hard and do my best, as I always have.
"I don't think there is any extra pressure on me to score either because we have plenty of other players capable of doing that.
"I just need to keep taking my chances in order to keep my place."
