Neville: Giggs is a legend
-
Gary Neville hailed Ryan Giggs a legend in the truest sense of the word after the Welshman inspired United to a slender 1-0 win over Tottenham at Old Trafford.
The 32-year-old, who before the match received the August Player of the Month award, scored after 12 minutes with a header to maintain the teamÂ’s unbeaten start to the season and return the Reds to the top of the Premiership.
Surprisingly, it is the first time Giggs has ever won the award, and Neville says his recent impressive performances are nothing out of the ordinary.
“Ryan has been playing like that for the last 12 years,” Neville told Sky Sports. “He’s a brilliant footballer.
“When he does finish playing he will be truly regarded as a great. He’s incredible, he takes his game to another level and progresses every season.”
GiggsÂ’ goal was the only difference between United and Tottenham on Saturday, and Reds skipper Neville was quick to admit it was a nervy finish. But he also says United can have achieved no more than maximum points at this stage of the season.
“We could have done with a second goal,” he said. “We were under pressure, but they are a good team. Both teams missed chances, but we’re happy to get through the game, particularly after the international break, because that can always be a difficult time.

Strangely, Giggs just seems to be playing better and better... I thought 1, 2 years ago they started to rest him more often cos he looked like he is coming to an age where he was slowing down... But suddenly he is looking up again, great for Man u.

yea. I think he can easily compete with chaps 10 years younger den him.
But recently, he suffered alot of facial injury leh.. i wonder if his age is catching up in this particular part of his body.. -
he is bleeding from the nose in the game against spurs, quite jia lat sia..

-

Yea, when I started watching Man U matches, he was all the rage, with Cantona. Beckham still in the youth team that time
He's already on Man U top 3 in terms of appearances for the club, after Sir Bobby Charlton and Bill Foulkes! And the top 11 scorer!! -
