Giggs: United are better by half

Ryan Giggs has called on Manchester United to repeat their first-half super show against Arsenal on Tuesday in order to complete their passage to the Champions League final.

Ryan Giggs has called on Manchester United to repeat their first-half super show against Arsenal on Tuesday in order to complete their passage to the Champions League final.

Such was the brilliance of United’s performance at Old Trafford last week, they are slightly unfortunate not to be counting down the days to Rome on May 27 already.

Certainly Arsenal are aware how lucky they are still to have a chance of going through and aim to take maximum advantage at the Emirates Stadium.

However, Giggs feels the Red Devils are capable of exercising their dominance once more and feels that will be enough to end any Arsenal comeback dream.

“If we play to the ability we did in the first half last week we will have no problems,” said the former Wales skipper.

“We went out to get the crowd going and play at a quick tempo. That is what we do when we are at our best. Arsenal are a top team and they are capable of scoring goals so we are under no illusions about how difficult this is going to be.”
