NEVILLE LAUDS OLD GUARD

NEVILLE LAUDS OLD GUARD



It seems every man and his dog has been praising Ryan Giggs recently. And rightly so: the 35-year-old was United’s star man during September, scoring two goals and having a hand in no less than seven others.

Now, as the Reds prepare to take on Sunderland at Old Trafford, Gary Neville has labelled his team-mate “absolutely outstanding” in Saturday’s United Review.

“Ryan's been our most creative player in key moments,” the United skipper says. “He’s winning us matches and his performance levels are fantastic.”

But it’s not just Giggs who’s caught the captain’s eye.

“Scholesy is still a brilliant player for us, too,” he says. “He can still control the pace of matches for us – everything sticks with him and he never wastes a pass. They’re both still world-class players and they’re crucially important to the squad.”

Neville, who’ll be hoping to earn a spot in Sir Alex’s starting XI on Saturday, knows he could be in for a tough 90 minutes.

“Sunderland have some very good players. Darren Bent’s a proven goalscorer and Fraizer Campbell will always score goals. Kieran Richardson has certainly got over his fitness problems from last season and is looking a lot stronger, too
