Giggs: old guard will help Moyes

Manchester United veteran winger Ryan Giggs revealed the new manager David Moyes will receive the full backing from the side of senior United players, including himself.

The Welshman has also admitted that replacing the most successful manager of English football who has been in charge for about 27 years and won 13 Premier League titles will be a tough task. Giggs said: “What David Moyes is coming into is a good atmosphere, a really good bunch of lads, very good players and a really strong squad, so it is a strong position to be in. But the downside is that you have to follow the most successful manager that has ever lived.

“Managers usually go into clubs when things aren’t going great, but this team isn’t on a downward spiral, so I don’t know if that makes it harder or easier for David. But we have a really good bunch of lads in the dressing room and, whenever the manager needs help, the more experienced players will help. That has been the norm, ever since I have been in the club,” he added.
