GIGGS: UNITED SIDE COULD BE BEST-EVER

RYAN GIGGS claims the current Manchester United side can take the first step to becoming the best he has ever played in by winning the Premiership this season.

The Welsh veteran, 33, has won eight titles, four FA Cups, two League Cups and the Champions League since making his debut back in 1991. But the club's longest-serving player, who has starred alongside Eric Cantona and David Beck-ham, reckons Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and Co have the talent to surpass all that in the next few years. And now they must start winning trophies to prove it. "I certainly think this team has got the potential to be the best United team I have played in," he said.

"We have got good young players coming through. But you can't really judge teams until they have won things. And you can't call teams great until they have won things. Not just one trophy but lots of trophies - and been consistent over four or five years. Hopefully this team can do that." And Giggs said the sky was the limit for strike pair Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo.

"They are potentially world greats. They have a lot to do but they certainly have the talent."
