Nah Im sorry thats not the case - for definite at least - remember who Henry was playing against on the night , basically two squad players - albeit reasonably talented ones (one who played a decent game for himself, the other who pretty well disappeared)
Not only that but rightfully so Man Utd where (trying at least) to counter with skill - how about when Henry came up against the more rough and tumble players/teams that are much more common over here, he would be battered and bruised all the time and imo injury concerns at the very least would be much more obvious
Its not definite either way, you may be right - just the way I read it. Barca move came at the right time to extend a great players career, and he is getting the most out of it , which is fabulous
