Giggsy's vintage display

Ryan Giggs produced one of his best performances of the season so far against Blackburn, prompting Sir Alex Ferguson to suggest the Welshman can "go on for years".

The Reds winger put on a vintage display to help the Reds earn a 2-0 victory at Old Trafford.

"I thought Ryan was absolutely fantastic today, particularly in the second half," said Sir Alex.

"You look at him today and see the freshness he shows, I think he can go on for years. He's been a wonderful servant for us.

Getting the most out of Giggs, who turns 34 at the end of the month, is a balancing act. Sir Alex carefully chooses the right moments to use him and knows when he needs a rest.

"We have to be careful with Ryan these days. He didn't play last Wednesday and we've now got a two week break before we play Bolton. Retiring from international football's helped him, there's no question of that."
