Ryan Giggs has hailed Andy Cole as a unique goal scoring talent ahead of the former Manchester United striker's return to Old Trafford with Blackburn.

Giggs was sad to see Cole leave last month in an £8m deal after playing alongside him for nearly seven years at United.

"It's never nice to see people go, especially Coley because he had been here so long," said Giggs.

"He had been so successful and there's probably no other goals corer I've played with like him.

"He wants to play regularly and he was quoted as saying that.

"At his age he wants to play a lot of games and he's going to do that at Blackburn.

"I wished him luck when he left and I know he will score goals."
