Giggs at ease with United expectation

Ryan Giggs produced the defining moment of Manchester United’s greatest season, 15 years later he finds himself tasked with lifting the Red Devils from their lowest ebb for a generation.

A lot has changed since the Welshman thrillingly slalomed his way beyond several Arsenal defenders at Villa Park to settle a dramatic FA Cup semi-final, reaffirming United’s belief 1999 would be their year as they went on to secure the treble.

As United’s unprecedented run of success showed no signs of abating, Giggs must have fully expected to end his career challenging for yet more trophies to add to the 13 Premier Leagues, four FA Cups, four League Cups, two Champions Leagues, one Uefa Super Cup and one Club World Cup already in his locker.
