Thierry Henry is what Barney Stinson from the American tv-series How I Met Your Mother would call legen - wait for it - dary! Now, the French striker has tied the boots for the last time.

The - now - former Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona and New York Red Bull striker has decided to end his career after his contact with the Americans ran out earlier in December. 

360 goals in 792 club matches later, and with a World Cup- and EURO-trophy in his bag, Henry is now starting a new career.

Instead, Henry will now start a career as Skysport pundit and spread his wisdom to the British football fans. 

We have seen the Arsenal darling on TV before, and to celebrate the striker's new role, Great Dane Football Blog takes a look on what to expect for the future - and what we will miss from the past.

But as much as we will miss the incredible goals, we can look forward to this:

Manchester United v Liverpool FC

Premier League Round 16

Old Trafford

14-12-2014 @ 12.30 GMT

Manchester United haven't looked back since they lost the Manchester Derby early in November. The last four matches in the Premier League have added 12 points to the Red Devils account and brought them back in the position for European football next season. The can get into the fun zone with a win against Southampton tonight. 

Liverpool are four points behind United and have the possibility of closing the gap with a win on Saturday. The Reds have five points for their last three matches after they drew against Sunderland last week. 

Manchester United have won five of the last ten matches against Liverpool. 

What are the probable line-ups?

Not less than six Manchester United players are injured or doubtful for the match against Liverpool, including Wayne Rooney, Luke Shaw and Angel Di Maria. Daniel Sturridge is back on the training ground after his injury, but is unlikely to play against United why he is sidelined along with Mario Balotelli and five other players.

De Gea

Valencia - Smalling - Rojo - Young

Carrick - Fellaini

Herrera - Mata - Januzaj

Worth keeping an eye on

Manchester United - Robin van Persie: The Dutch goal getter has had a disappointing start of the season, but now it seems he is back in his best form. If he plays his best, he will be a challenge for  the Liverpool defends.

Liverpool - Adam Lallana: Lallana left his impressing form in Southampton, but the expectations are still high to the England international. Lallana will have to improve and against Manchester United he should be able to challenge the defend.

 What to expect from this match?

Brendan Rodgers is under pressure, and a win against United will give him some time to reestablish his side and bring them back around the top positions. However, van Gaal has got the best out of his injury struck squad and United are beginning to find the level we know they have. United are the favorites against a struggling Liverpool side. 

What are the odds?

Manchester United: 19/20 (Betfred)

Draw: 45/17 (888sport)

Liverpool: 16/5 (BetVictor)

After four-and-a-half year in New York Arsenal legend, Thierry Henry has left Red Bulls - Rumours link him back to London and The Gunners, but is the club even interesting for the striker?

He is a true legend and Arsenal fans from all over the world travels to the Emirates Stadium to worship the statue of the French striker. Now, Henry is free of his contract in New York after some impressing years for the Red Bulls. 

Some of the fans will have woken up this morning with a morning glory hoping to see Henry in the red and white Puma shirt, and the oddsmakers are already setting the odds for Henry return to Arsenal.

But, nothing is settled and at this point we don't even know if Henry is ending his career or hoping for a few more years. After all, he is 37-years-old and has played his part in the history of football. 

Wenger today says he is certain Henry will return to Arsenal in some non-playing role at some point, and reading behind the lines this means Arsenal has no interest in signing him as an extra striker. And looking at the squad, Henry is probably not the player Arsenal needs at the moment. 

But Henry could return to Arsenal and play a role in the backroom staff and move on to become an assistant as we have seen with Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes in Manchester United. Most fans would love to see Henry take over for Wenger at some point, and even though many are losing fate in manager, this might not be the right time. 

Henry is interesting for Arsenal and Arsenal is interesting for Henry, but we might have seen the last of him in the Red and white shirt. The Gunners have to dream about him in the manager's seat for the future.
