THAT GIGGS RUMOURMILL AGAIN

Last updated : 23 February 2003 By Editor

From The Sunday Mirror:

The decision to take up with Stacey Cook, the girlfriend of his former best mate Dave Gardner, has seen him ostracised by other players.

Giggs can see no end to the problems and now appears to be considering his position at the club.

Publicly he is maintaining he wants to stay and see out the five-year contract he signed last year but privately he is weighing up a move.

Inter claimed in December that United were prepared to use Giggs as bait to land two of their major stars, which United refused to deny.

But the Italians ruled out a swap deal and insisted they would be back this summer with a substantial offer.

Inter president Massimo Moratti said last night: "Every year there's talk of us getting Giggs and although I think Manchester United are still keen on him I believe an offer will be considered.

Inter technical director Gabriele Oriali said at the time: "Giggs is fundamental to our plans of strengthening the team. We could have had him in part-exchange because under certain conditions United were available for this kind of deal.

"But our intention now is to wait until the summer when we will make a significant offer."
