OLD MAN GIGGS

Ryan Giggs reckons Manchester United can laugh off Arsene Wenger's jibes — by tittering their way to the title

Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini told SunSport yesterday how Wenger feels United's oldies tend to run out of gas in the last 20 minutes of a game.

And Giggs revealed how the Old Trafford rookies who rate him as a footballing pensioner are keeping spirits high and the club on course for a ninth Premiership crown.

In fact, some of them wind him up by suggesting he is so old that he is actually a former team-mate of Sir Bobby!

"If there's a clip of Bobby Charlton playing or a game's in black and white, they'll ask ‘Were you playing in that, Giggsy?'

"I find that unbelievable because I still think I'm 21. When I was 19, I was looking at Steve Bruce and Bryan Robson, thinking they're old!

"Even when Eric Cantona signed for the club, I thought ‘That's a man.' He was 26 or 27 then, I'm 33 now."
