Manchester United’s record appearance maker claims that his side will be ready for the challenge at Ewood Park, a place where they have won only twice in eleven league visits.
Veteran winger http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ryan-Giggs-c31985 has seen it all during his trophy laden career at Old Trafford, from being a blistering ace on the flank, to a more subtle yet creative role in the centre of the park, the Welshman has redefined his game as the years roll by.
Having been a part of all the Premier League run-ins for the Red Devils, Giggs’ presence in the dressing room is a major boost to youngsters like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/David-de-Gea-c10463.
Furthermore, his beloved United can now breathe at the top, as Manchester City conveniently dropped points at home to Sunderland. With two points to spare despite a trip to the Etihad, the Reds are perfectly poised to gather their 20th title in what has been a strange season in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749.
However unlike most of their rivals, Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Ferguson’s men have been able to build on a string of solid displays in the last few weeks, with back-to-back, no nonsense wins sending them to the summit of the table.
Now faced with the unsavoury task of battling with Steve Kean’s Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 at Ewood Park today, Ryan Giggs claimed that his side are up to the task, in which they failed several times in the Premiership era.
"It's always been a tough place to go for us. It's like a mini-local derby. We always take good numbers there but that just seems to lift the Blackburn fans, who are always up for it. On a few occasions down the years we've not played very well there," he said.
“It's just been a tricky place to go, although we do have good memories of going there from last season when we won the league at Blackburn. I don't think this fixture will have the same sort of impact on the title race as it has in the last two seasons.”
United have had their nervy moments this campaign but have managed to steer themselves to the title yet again, which is a testament to not only the abilities of the players but of Sir Alex Ferguson, who has built a model of success over the last 25 years, which simply cannot be seen elsewhere.
