Giggs admires Solskjaer’s transfer policy at United

United were on an unbeaten run of 11 games, in all competitions, prior to the action being halted due to the coronavirus pandemic. It had given real cause for optimism among the supporters and Giggs is no different, feeling the club he served with such distinction is clearly heading in the right direction.

“It was a shame we had to pause the season because we were flying,” he says. “Ole started his management with United flying, then had a tough spell, and then we were on a good run. But, like I said earlier, the players he’s got in have been really impressive.

“They’ve improved the team and the dressing room and obviously, in Fernandes, we’ve seen over the years the effect one player can sometimes have.

“You talk about the Cantonas, the van Persies… and I’m not comparing him yet to them but he’s made other players play better and he’s given everyone a lift. I still think we need four or five players but we’re definitely going in the right direction.”
