Fletcher welcomes back Giggs

Darren Fletcher believes Ryan Giggs has returned at just the right time to help guide Manchester United to their 19th league title.

Darren Fletcher believes Ryan Giggs has returned at just the right time to help guide Manchester United to their 19th league title.

After breaking his arm at Aston Villa in February, Giggs made his comeback in Manchester United’s victory over Liverpool last weekend.

The veteran Welshman is bound to play a major role over the next few weeks as United chase silverware in both the Premier League and Champions League.

Giggs’ chances of starting at Bolton tomorrow depend on how much Ferguson will want him involved for their crunch clash with Bayern Munich in Germany.

But whether he is involved at the Reebok Stadium or not, Fletcher knows his 36-year-old team-mate is going to be a key man.

“Ryan’s experience at handling pressure situations is going to be vital,” said the Scotland skipper.

“The moment that spoke volumes about that was his touch and pass in the last minute of injury time against Manchester City earlier this season.

“It was the last minute of a pressure game but he didn’t panic. He has so much experience in these situations and it is great to have him back.”
